Nyhetsjournalistiken gör anspråk på att objektivt återspegla verkligheten. Journalisten är dock oundvikligen påverkad av sina tidigare erfarenheter såväl som rådande sociala normer och värderingar, vilka kommer till uttryck i nyhetsmaterialet. I den här studien undersöker vi hur dessa normer och värderingar har tagit sig uttryck i Aftonbladets och Dagens Nyheters rapportering av revolutionen i Egy

Våra kulturella och sociala referensramar byggs upp delvis med hjälp av historier. Det är genom historier som människan genom tiderna förmedlat etiska och moraliska budskap från generation till generation. Genom historier har också vårt samhälle och dess strukturer kritiserats och omvärderats för att förbättras ända sedan antiken. För att förstå hur dessa historier påverkar oss idag behöver vi gra

Twilightböckerna och -filmerna har sålt miljoner exemplar världen över, och etablerat sig som ett samtida fenomen. De har också i stor utsträckning polariserat publiken, som kan sägas bestå dels av Twilight-fans, och de som anser att Twilight underminerar bilden av vad som utgör en vampyr. Denna bild förefaller vara nära förknippad med föreställningar om manlighet, och det existerar ett stort anta

Under 2008 svarade EU:s offentliga upphandling för 17-18 procent av EU:s BNP. Huruvida offentliga medel skall kunna användas som instrument för att förverkliga politiska ambitioner eller om upphandlande myndighet endast skall ta hänsyn till ekonomiska aspekter har varit föremål för diskussion. Jag har valt att kartlägga de normgivande regelverk som reglerar arbetsrättslig hänsyn vid offentlig upphIn 2008 public procurement made up 17-18 percent of the EU GDP. The issue of whether the disbursement of public funds can be used to promote social objectives, including preservation of labour law requirements or whether public authorities only shall take economic considerations into account when deciding what to purchase, has been subject to discussion. In this thesis, I have chosen to describe t

Kinas urbana landskap har de senaste åren förändrats radikalt i ett led av landets exceptionella ekonomiska utveckling sedan Deng Xiaoping genomförde en rad ekonomiska reformer under 1980-talet. Starkast utveckling sker i städerna på östkusten där bland annat medelinkomsterna i Beijing ökat med 54 % mellan åren 1998 och 2001 (Wang 2004:55).

YouTube fungerar idag nästintill som en vardagsrutin för många, och personliga videodagböcker har blivit ett alltmer utbrett fenomen. Det saknas studier kring förhållandet mellan mottagare och videobloggare på YouTube och hur detta kan förstås i samband med perspektivet om jaget som symboliskt projekt. Uppsatsen ämnar att öka förståelsen för hur videobloggen kan verka som en del av en större jagb

This prediction is tested using data from six online travel agents and the airline companies quoted as having the cheapest prices for the corresponding dates and destinations. The re

Our model suggests that an extra focus on what the customers perceives as quality is needed in order to succeed on emerging mid-markets. As actual quality only matters if it affects perceived quality this information is needed in order to develop “the right product”. It is not only about having a customer focus; rather we suggest that the company must “turn the customer perception into its reality
