Min C-uppsats; Valspurten i Dagens Nyheter - Muhamed Ferhatovic ...

Abstract
This essay speaks about the medial coverage made by the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The
periods examined are the two weeks before the election day (5 September – 19 September 2010). The
purpose of our study is to find out if the newspaper was neutral and did not write in favour of any
political party or political block in the newssection. After the elections in Sweden 2010 there have
been discussions about the medias in the country being biased, and claims have been made that the
news have been written in favour of a certain political party or a bloc. Dagens Nyheter is a newspaper
that is respected in Sweden and their debate-page called “Dagens Nyheter - Debate” is agenda-setting
for the rest of the media in Sweden. Therefore it is important to see whether this newspaper was
publishing articles in favour of a political party or not.
