Abstract [en]

The aim of this paper is to analyse the portrayal of refugee-related concerns in the two Swedish Newspapers with distinct political affiliations; Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) and Aftonbladet through the year 2023. For this thesis, fourteen articles, related to refugee discourse, seven from each newspaper were collected. The study was done by conducting a discourse analysis of the selected articles by referring to the Five News Frames from previous research by Semetko and Valkenburg (2000). Furthermore, both Framing Theory and Agenda Setting Theory were included in the discussion of the findings by highlighting their importance in the portrayal of refugge related themes and by emphasizing on the Five News Frames. Aftonbladet, categorised as a left-leaning newspaper employed the Morality and Human Interest frames which align with the previous research about the portrayal of refugees on the leftleaning media. Contradictory to the previous literature on left and right-leaning media the tendency to depict refugees negatively was not evident in the articles from Svenska Dagbladet. Nontheless, a notable difference was the prioritization of issues. For instance, while Aftonbladet consistently referred to the responsibility of various actors, articles found on SvD focused on the responses by the authorities. This study has contributed to the IMER field by offering a nuanced approach of the impact of the political biases on the media covarage of refugee related discussions on Swedish newspapers.
