Abstract [en]
The purpose of the study was to examine whether there were differences in the reporting of the same news depending on the format on Aftonbladets website. Three articles that reported on different events both in video and text were analyzed to give answers to the following questions: how does the subject matter differ between the formats of writing versus video? Is there any difference in how the writer chooses to represent a news item based on the contents? Is information lost if the recipient only chooses to interact with one of the formats? The study applied the methods of multi-modal analysis and qualitative content analysis and is based on semiotic theory and hybrid media systems. In the chosen empirical material, the analysis was able to highlight that there was a difference in factual content depending on the format in which the news item was reported. This in turn could suggest that the recipient misses out on information if they choose to interact with only one of the formats. The chosen empirical material also showed that there were differences in how news is reported depending on its content.
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka huruvida skillnader finns i rapporteringar av samma nyhet i olika mediaformat på Aftonbladet. Tre artiklar som rapporterade om olika händelser i video- och textformat analyserades för att få svar på frågeställningarna: hur skiljer sig sakinnehållet mellan nyheter i skrift gentemot nyheter i videoformat? Finns det någon skillnad i hur skribenten väljer att representera en nyhet baserad på dess innehåll? Går information förlorad om mottagare enbart väljer att interagera med ett format? Studien tillämpade metoderna multimodalanalys och kvalitativ innehållsanalys och är grundad i semiotisk teori och hybrid media systems. I den valda empirin kunde analysen belysa att det fanns skillnad i sakinnehåll beroende på vilket format nyheten rapporterades i. Detta kunde i sin tur visa att mottagare går miste om information om hen väljer att interagera med endast ett av formaten. Den valda empirin visade också att det fanns skillnader i hur nyheter rapporteras beroende på dess innehåll.
