- A significant part of the interaction between journalists and their sources in political journalism is informal or not mentioned in the media content. Visibility/invisibility and formality/informality are tactical choices applied by journalists and sources. They influence agenda building in the short term and shared interpretations that dominate the public sphere in the long term.However, the extent to which informal and/or invisible sources participate, what their role is, and why have not been consistently measured. This paper offers a matrix model to map and compare the usage of formal/informal and visible/invisible interactions between journalists and their sources. The data consists of 475 journalist-source interactions in Lithuania and Sweden reconstructed by 33 political journalists.The results demonstrate how different interactions presuppose different source roles in the news process. Formal invisible sources act as gatekeepers, and informal invisible sources act as agenda setters.

Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures : Passionate Play
- 2012. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- How do gender and sexuality come to matter in online game cultures? Why is it important to explore "straight" versus "queer" contexts of play? And what does it mean to play together with others over time, as co-players and researchers?Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures is a book about female players and their passionate encounters with the online game World of Warcraft and its player cultures. It takes seriously women’s passions in games, and as such draws attention to questions of pleasure in and desire for technology.The authors use a unique approach of what they term a "twin ethnography" that develops two parallel stories. Sveningsson studies "straight" game culture, and makes explicit that which is of the norm by exploring the experiences of female gamers in a male-dominated gaming context. Sundén investigates "queer" game culture through the queer potentials of mainstream World of Warcraft culture, as well as through the case of a guild explicitly defined as LGBT.Academic research on game culture is flourishing, yet feminist accounts of gender and sexuality in games are still in the making. Drawing on feminist notions of performance, performativity and positionality, as well as the recent turn to affect and phenomenology within cultural theory, the authors develop queer, feminist studies of online player cultures in ways that are situated and embodied.

- This paper presents ongoing research on vocational didactical dilemmas in Sweden, and examples from a study that focuses on didactical dilemmas with mobile phones in the vocational educational classroom. The paper is based on a tentative study of the risks identified in two different projects where young people in Swedish upper secondary schools' vocational programs have been video- and audio recorded, and interviewed. As the role of the mobile phone in the professional classroom has become more and more important, the fact that most young people in Sweden bring their mobile phones with them to school is nothing new in itself, everyone who has set foot in an upper secondary school knows that. What we know less about, however, is what the young people actually do with the mobile phones and what consequences this can have for the young people's everyday life in the actual classroom. The various examples that we present in this paper contains aspects of risks related to mobile phone use in the vocational classroom divided into two categories; first we present examples where we have identified risks related to safety and health; and then we focus on examples where it is primarily about social risks. The examples show that there is a difference in how the students orient themselves towards the mobile phone and risks as either: the mobile phone as a danger to the safety of the classroom or to the health of the individual student or her classmates, or that the mobile phone constitutes a risk for the students to be hung out in public. The fact that the use of the mobile phone can pose a health risk by stealing students' attention is an aspect of mobile phone that distinguishes the vocational programs from other educational classrooms; it can actually be dangerous to use the mobile phone even if it only in rare cases has consequences for the health of the studied participants. It also explains why the teachers in the studied vocational classrooms to a greater extent and more actively work to hinder the use of mobile phones among the students as it is included as part of the constant security thinking in the vocational classroom. The vocational teachers' normative view of the mobile phone as a risk factor also partly agrees with how the students orient themselves towards the use of the mobile phone. This paper shows that the students also orient themselves towards other risks than those the teacher’s pay attention to.In this paper, so forth, we show that there is a great need to study risk aspects of the presence of mobile phones in the classroom and the initial survey shows that mobile phones can pose risks in the form of security risks, as well as social vulnerability, and that we need new ways of attacking risk as a concept when we discuss students and their mobile phones in the vocational educational classroom. Based on the examples presented in the paper, there are also aspects of the difference between being at risk and risk-taking, for example when are the students in danger and when do they take risks by using the mobile phones in the classroom? Regardless, the mobile phone in the vocational classroom includes questions about risks that needs to be handled by as a didactic dilemma.

Experts, dads and technology : Gendered talk about online music

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With the internet and digital media technology increasingly central to practices around music, this shift is often seen as contributing to a networked music use characterized by individualism. Drawing on a focus group study with young adults in Stockholm and Moscow, this article argues, however, that digital music use today is shaped by discourses of difference, with gender a significant factor both in constructions of the ideal music and technology user, and in terms of musical influence and guidance. Taking into account contemporary research on new media technology, as well as feminist studies of technology and music, the article questions ideas of a neutral user of new music technologies, showing how the gendering of music and media technology can be seen as simultaneously context-bound and cutting across geographies.

“We passed the trust on” : Strategies for security in #MeToo activism in Sweden
- 2020

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The #metoo movement can serve as a case for how networked online environments can provide settings for the mobilization of social movements, while also entail serious risks for those involved. In Sweden, over hundred thousand people were engaged in activities against sexual harassments and abuse, where social media were used to collect testimonies and to draft and discuss petitions that were later published in print news media. While HCI research on trust focus on how people trust technical systems, the authorities behind the system, or the user generated data, trust between peers in vulnerable communities is less researched. In this study, based on semi-structured interviews and a survey that involved 62 organizers of the Swedish #metoo movement, we therefore look into the question of how a secure and supportive environment was achieved among participants despite the scale of the activism. The result shows how trust was aggregated over networks of technical systems, institutions, people, shared values and practices. The organizers of the petitions used tools and channels at their disposal such as e.g. already established social media contexts that enabled the #metoo petitions to be formed easily and spread quickly. Establishing a supportive culture based on recognition and shared values was central for the movement. However, when the activism was scaled up, strategies were used to increase security by clarifying rules and roles, limiting access to information, restricting access to groups, and limiting the scope of communication.

- This roundtable discussion draws together researchers with an interest of overcoming purely juridical treatment of piracy in their work. Christopher Kelty and Gabriella Coleman consider the aspects of cyberculture, which conflictually engage with intellectual property rights, through various communities of technology practice, including hackers. Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi’s work on fair use addresses the growing opportunities for creators in the United States to utilize the tradition in their creative fields. Jonas Andersson Schwarz and Patrick Burkart, co-editors of this special issue, have researched user motivations and political activism around copyright and software patent reforms, partially explaining the emergence of dozens of European Pirate Parties, beginning with the Swedish Pirates in 2006.

Journalists' Using Facebook To Claim The Territory, Brag Or Cry In Desperation For Help : A Content Analysis Of A Nordic Journalistic Resource Group On Facebook
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- On Facebook there are interest groups created by journalists, for journalists, that focus on the journalistic profession and work methods. One example is the Swedish group, "Datajournalistik" (in English, "Data Journalism") created in 2012. The group has grown to more than 1,000 Nordic members, most of whom are active data journalists working primarily at Swedish media companies. This article builds on Granovetter's theory on the strength of weak ties. A content analysis of all posts with comments has been carried out to discuss tie strength in relation to information sharing and addressivity in the group. The findings indicate that Datajournalistik forms a network where the individuals are mainly connected by weak ties. Another conclusion is that the group has a function in developing data journalistic competence, but it also functions as means for journalists to promote Nordic data journalistic work in their community giving others credit while at the same time taking some of the credit for oneself.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this chapter is to examine the conditions for the practice of critical journalism in Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We focus on two aspects, one practical and one discursive. First, we focus on journalists’ access to relevant information about the pandemic, as access plays a key role in the practice of critical reporting. Second, we focus on metajournalistic discourse, understood as how public debate about journalism shapes the practice of journalism. We found that information access was challenged in all three countries, but in different ways. We also found elements of a metajournalistic discourse. In Denmark, this discourse expressed concern about journalism being too critical, while in Sweden and Iceland, the concern was more a lack of critical reporting. We argue that the differences found can best be explained by the different Covid-19 communication strategies in the three countries.
