Flyktingmottagande i perspektiv. En kvalitativ textanalys av dagstidningars rapportering om flyktingmottagande i Sverige

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study is to examine how daily newspapers in Sweden are reportingabout the reception of refugees. To do this we have done a qualitative textanalysis of different text articles published in Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs-Postenand Sydsvenskan. We have created three different problem perspectives that willshow how and in what way the daily newspapers are writing about the receptionof refugees in Sweden. We used agenda-setting theory as one of our theoreticalperspectives. The theory states that those issues that media addresses morefrequent to will be those that people tends to think are the most important socialissues. Research shows that media today has gotten more power to sett the agendaand to create (new) social problems. Using agenda-setting theory gives us thelegitimacy to study our material in the way we want to.Our text analysis indicates that the articles are portraying the reception of refugeesas a threat to Sweden the Swedish welfare system and that the reception ofrefugees, are and will become, problematic for Sweden in one or another way.
