    A talking matter: Discursive enactments of norms and tensions in a public participation process
    (2024-10-01) Sjögren, Maria
    This thesis is about public participation as a social practice and its discursive construction. Generally, previous research has depicted public participation as a tensional practice that is both praised and criticized. Participatory events such as public meetings are tensional in their own right as they have ideals of dialogic and open-ended communication, while they often seek to accomplish certain institutional outcomes. Further, as these events are novel and often occur as single occasions, the norms for participating in them remain unclear. Departing from these puzzling points, the thesis aims to gain a deeper understanding of public participation as a practice by analysing how norms and tensions de facto are enacted in everyday interactions. The material consists of a two-year-long ethnographic study in which I have followed civil servants initiating a participatory process aimed at reducing violence that affects children in a suburb of a metropolitan area of Sweden. In three central communicative events of this process (planning meetings, interviews with citizen-parents and public meetings), I have analysed how the discursive actions of the civil servants bring the practice into being. Taken together, the studies suggest a multifaceted role of the civil servants as they work to balance contrasting ideals both within the municipal organization and within the communicative events. The studies also highlight that a protruding tension in these interactions is related to a task- and goal-oriented focus in the civil servants’ actions. The discursive patterns depicted can serve as reflection for practitioners as well as for future studies. However, the thesis ends with a reflection about discourse practices of longing. Without disregarding the tensions outlined, a perspective of longing also encompasses the flourishing praise of participatory processes, which are present in this study as well as in the empirical and theoretical literature.

    Battling the 'Invisible Nets'. Gender in the fields of journalism in sub-Saharan Africa
    (2017-05-04) Zuiderveld, Maria
    Battling the ‘invisible nets’ studies journalism as a gendered practice in sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis analyses the gender logic in the field of journalism by examining how structures of gender, class and race interact to create barriers and opportunities for black women journalists and media managers. The empirical focus is on South Africa but also includes Zambia, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Uganda. The theoretical framework is inspired by French socio- logist Pierre Bourdieu and the appropriation of his theories by Toril Moi. Inspired by an ethnographic approach, five empirical studies examine the lived experiences of black women journalists. The thesis also examines how gender logic operates in the field of journalism in South Africa on a detailed level by analysing reporting and editorial discussions concerning a specific gender-sensitive topic during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The results of the thesis show the South African context is unique in the way it shapes opportunities and obstacles for women in the field of journalism, and how black women journalists act in order to navigate the ‘invisible nets’ and succeed in the field.

    Being political in the media – Political identities in journalistic and Twitter discourse
    (2019-08-30) Persson, Gustav
    This thesis is about the role of media discourse in shaping the political identities of those who want to be heard in public. The ways in which people are able to speak, know, and feel in political situations have important implications for how we conceive of the possibilities to be engaged in contemporary democracy. This thesis offer four empirical studies of how political identities are constructed through journalism and social networking services in cases in which people have decided to make their voices heard. Identities constructed through mediated participation have important implications for how we understand the possibilities to act politically in public, a public that that is characterized as having a multifarious media ecology. Methodologically as well as theoretically it is bound together by a discursive approach to political identities, which means that it is at the discursive level of mediation that identities are analysed as a means to open up for discussions about the limits and constraints of what it means to be political today, what kind and now the media facilitate political engagement. Empirically it analyses print and radio journalism as well as emotional tweets and Twitter profiles to map out ways in which political identities are constructed in activist participation in and through the media. The four different studies contribute to discussions around what it is to be knowledgeable, emotional, subjective and able when you are communicating politics in media discourse. One of the main contribution is that political identities in the media are precarious and that research need to be careful about making too simplistic assumptions about those who make their voices heard in public or what they need to become in undertaking this, and there is a necessary precarious quality to becoming or emerging political in the media, which poses important challenges for social scientific studies that wishes to understand what and who those who act politically through the media.

    Bilden av psykiatriområdet. Nyhetsrapporteringen i Rapport 1980-2006
    (2010-02-19T10:11:24Z) Magnusson, Ann-Sofie
    In Sweden, as in many other countries in the Western world, care and support to people with mental illness have undergone major organizational changes. The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyse the image of the psychiatric field that Swedish newscast gives from a long-term period of view and in the perspective of the great changes that have occurred in the psychiatric field. The research questions are: What image has the Swedish news coverage of the psychiatric field shown in a broad and long-term perspective? And how does the news image correspond to societal context? “The psychiatric field” encompasses both an individual as a societal perspective on mental illness. A model based on the idea of the psychiatric field as “reality” is used to study the news image. The model consists of psychiatric field actors and questions, their properties and relationships. The study of news content in the news program Rapport, “Sweden’s largest news media”, is used to answer the first research question. To answer the second research question, the news image is studied in relation to events in the psychiatric field and to government statistics. The psychiatric field becomes more newsworthy during the 27 years examined. It occurs more often; gets more space in the broadcasting and more impact as headlines. Four out of ten news items of the psychiatric field is about health care and legislation, while barely one third is related to violence and criminal activities. News about health care and legislation occupies more space, news about violence is more likely to be headlines. The changed news image corresponds to the actual circumstances, where comparisons have been possible to do. The thesis discusses possible explanations for why the news images looks like they do, partly on the basis of interviews with journalists. The results of the interviews show a professional dilemma where the journalists wants on the one hand to contribute to nuance depictions surrounding mental illness, on the other hand protect the fragile and inexperienced interviewers. Change in the news reporting about the psychiatric field over the period studied is probably caused by the interacting factors in society and journalism.

    Bruised by the Invisible Hand. A critical examination of journalistic representations and the naturalization of neoliberal ideology in times of Industrial crisis.
    (2016-09-12) Jacobsson, Diana
    Abstract This dissertation revolves around questions that are central to the field of media and journalism research, questions about journalism and ideology, about journalistic agency and autonomy, and the room for maneuver and vulnerability of journalism today. The purpose of the study is to examine how neoliberal discourse operates in news media reporting of industrial crisis. Departing from critical theory and critical discourse analysis, the study suggests that how neoliberal discourse operates in the journalistic understanding of the relationship between state, labor and capital, becomes visible in the way that questions of rights and responsibilities connected to workers, politics and the business elite are shaped in a situation where mass unemployment is the expected outcome. The study therefore focuses on the negotiation and correspondence between the neoliberal and journalistic logic and comprises three empirical analyses of the journalistic representation of the working class, politics and business elite in the news coverage of the closing of a large Swedish factory in the early 2010s. The first substudy makes a historical comparison with news coverage during the textile industry crisis in the late 1970s and draws attention to how news journalism today dismantles the working class by the construction of discourses that prevent political and collective action. The second substudy identifies a firm neoliberal posture promoted by the right-wing government in conjunction with the first signs of crisis – and the disappearance of the question of political responsibility in the later news coverage concerning the closure of the factory. The third substudy illuminates how the clear labor perspective in the journalistic construction during the textile industry crisis in the 1970s is replaced by a dominant market perspective and a very lenient journalistic posture towards the economic elite in today’s news reporting. Taken together, the study suggests that the way the relation between state, labor and capital is understood and expressed in the representation of the working class, politics and the economic elite indicates a naturalization of the neoliberal ideology with few avenues for another understanding of rights and responsibilities in an industrial crisis. The study points to an ideological closure where alternative interpretations and representations seem to be beyond the reach or ability of mainstream journalism.

    Cross-media News Work - Sensemaking of the Mobile Media (R)evolution
    (2011-12-22) Westlund, Oscar
    This dissertation makes a longitudinal study of transforming tensions in media production processes. It focuses on the thoughts and actions of new and mobile media in the interplay between staff from editorial-, business and IT departments in an organization coupled with the old newspaper medium. It makes the story of change processes in a relatively typical large regional newspaper organization in the Western world (Göteborgs-Posten, Sweden). This case-study from Sweden, a country with high newspaper and ICT-diffusion, contributes to expand the geographic gaze of research into journalism, business and technology in a digital era. The aim of the dissertation is to study sensemaking of mobile media over time, which has been done through numerous in-depth interviews with a broad selection of media workers from 2008 to 2011. The sensemaking approach conceives interpretations and actions to take place in heterogeneous and circular patterns, and make possible for studying how media workers make sense by structuring and constructing unknown matters such as mobile media. Deriving from previous research on transforming news media organizations, the dissertation has considered four particular tensions in order to grasp important and contemporary contours of change. This involves investigating how tensions come into play between different actors, namely how media workers from the editorial, business and IT departments make sense of and negotiate their inherent boundaries. It also focuses how the tension between old and new comes into play, as these media workers of a newspaper organization (the old) make sense of mobile media (the new). Two particularly important tensions are being reshaped when it comes to their role as a news media producer. The first concerns producer vs. user, namely how their former relationship to users as linear is potentially being refashioned to accommodate for participation. The second concern humans vs. machines (technology), that is, how media producers relate to machines carrying out tasks previously performed by journalists. The study bear witness not only on how mobile media was shaped in a formative phase of development, but also how this work transformed how journalism, business and technology was approached and perceived. Newspaper journalism used to be tangled with print, but relatively disentangled from commercial and technological forces. Now, journalism is becoming decoupled from the upside of commercial contributions, and simultaneously is becoming increasingly blended with technology and commerce in its production, presentation and distribution. These transformations deserve further attention.
