Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study is a replication of "Are Muslim Immigrants Different in terms of Cultural Integration?" by Alberto Bisin, Eleonora Patacchini, Thierry Verdier and Yves Zenou, published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, 6, 445-456, 2008. Bisin et al. (2008) report that they have 5,963 observations in their study. Using their empirical setup, we can only identify 1,901 relevant observations in the original data. After removing missing values we are left with 818 observations. We cannot replicate any of their results and our estimations yield no support for their claims. (JEL: A14, C21, C87, J15)

Public Trust and Journalistic Transparency : An experimental study of disclosure and participatory effects in online news
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Media matter. Most citizens’ in contemporary democracies get their information about current affairs and politics through the media. Political communication studies have for long time analysed the interplay between media content and journalistic style and political attitudes and public trust in political institutions. This paper adds to this discussion by addressing another dimension: the possible impact of journalistic transparency – offered in online-journalism – on political trust.Methodologically, the study was based on a web-based experiment including 1,320 respondents. The treatment groups comprised the same version of an online news article with additional indicators for disclosure transparency and participatory transparency. The article covered a local political issue and politicians form both ruling and opposition political parties appeared in the text.The results indicate that transparency effects on political trust may be overestimated. This experimental study did not confirm any significant positive correlation between transparency and the public trust towards local politicians appearing in the news.

- Bone mineral density (BMD) is the most widely used predictor of fracture risk. We performed the largest meta-analysis to date on lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, including 17 genome-wide association studies and 32,961 individuals of European and east Asian ancestry. We tested the top BMD-associated markers for replication in 50,933 independent subjects and for association with risk of low-trauma fracture in 31,016 individuals with a history of fracture (cases) and 102,444 controls. We identified 56 loci (32 new) associated with BMD at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10(-8)). Several of these factors cluster within the RANK-RANKL-OPG, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, endochondral ossification and Wnt signaling pathways. However, we also discovered loci that were localized to genes not known to have a role in bone biology. Fourteen BMD-associated loci were also associated with fracture risk (P < 5 × 10(-4), Bonferroni corrected), of which six reached P < 5 × 10(-8), including at 18p11.21 (FAM210A), 7q21.3 (SLC25A13), 11q13.2 (LRP5), 4q22.1 (MEPE), 2p16.2 (SPTBN1) and 10q21.1 (DKK1). These findings shed light on the genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying BMD variation and fracture susceptibility.

Edited participation comparing editorial influence on traditional and participatory online newspapers in Sweden
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Javnost - The Public. - 1318-3222. ; 18:2, s. 19-36
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although participatory journalism involves publishing content created by users, editorial influence is an important aspect of participatory online media. Editors shape the conditions under which user generated content is produced, the context of publication and the perceived prominence of the content. It is still unclear how this influence manifests itself, and how it can be related to the discussion about participatory media’s potential for revitalising democracy. In this paper, three online news media in Sweden are analysed comparatively: Sourze – the first Swedish participatory newspaper; Newsmill – a social media focusing on news and debate; and DN – the online version of the largest Swedish morning paper Dagens Nyheter. The question is how participation is affected by editorial influence. The findings suggest that participatory arenas are constrained by the logic of their context of production. People from different categories in society participate on different terms. Furthermore, editors influence the agenda by suggesting topics, and by rewarding articles that follow their suggestions. These fi ndings do not challenge assumptions about participatory newspapers as more accessible channels for citizens and therefore interesting as possible means of allowing a more democratically involved citizenry, but it challenges assumptions about freedom from constraints related to traditional mass media, such as agenda setting, gate-keeping and media logic.

How are citizen journalists telling news? The Swedish case
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research on citizen journalism has an Anglo-Saxon bias and frequently studies specific cases that focus on conflict, crisis events or war creating a selection bias of existing and, at least modestly, successful examples. In this study, situated in Sweden, we reverse the process and examine how actual communities are served by digital citizen community journalism in an everyday context. The study has a particular focus on how events are portrayed in terms of news topics dimensions, framing, presentation style, geographical focus and the authorship of news items. Preliminary findings indicate that the citizen journalists’ only present one perspective, rarely refers to policy plans or talks to the actors involved and provide individual and episodic news frames. Their focus is mostly on the local level and they have embraced the impersonal and unemotional presentation style from mainstream news. Half of the news items are being written by citizens while representatives from organisations or politicians author a quarter of them. All in all, citizen journalism in general falls short from both traditional journalistic standards and many scholarly claims of being alternative.

Om journalistikens existentiella kris : behövs verkligen journalister när vem som helst kan bli publicist?

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Aldrig förr har journalister tagit så mycket så mycket plats i offentligheten som i våra dagar. Exempel: Valrörelserna 2014 i Sverige prägla(de)s i högre utsträckning än någonsin tidigare av en ohejdad journalistisk kommentarlusta. Ett typiskt nyhetsinslag innehåller ofta ett kort uttalande av någon politiker, följt av en lång diskussion med kanalens politiska kommentatorer. Klyftan mellan de politiska partierna och den intet ont anande allmänheten fylls till bredden av journalistisk analys, tyckande, reflekterande och debatt med andra journalister. Många har frågat sig om vi medborgare verkligen får en chans att fundera själva över vad politikerna egentligen menar, innan en journalistisk expert har hunnit förklara det oss. Samtidigt pågår en annan utveckling journalistiken befinner sig 1 sedan cirka ett decennium tillbaka i en existentiell kris.2 Just nu pågår en fas som präglas av ett stort behov av att definiera vad en journalist egentligen är, varför de finns och vilken uppgift de förvänts fylla i samhället. Anledningen är att den teknologiska utveckingen, parallellt med stora ekonomiska svårigheter för många mediehus, skapat helt nya förutsättningar för en verksamhet som under decennier präglats av rutin och förutsägbarhet.3 Mitt i detta skeende dyker de sociala medierna upp, där bloggare och twittrare utan journalistisk skolning tävlar med de professionella journalisterna om att tycka och tänka – och inte minst att leverera nyheter.

Charting the Liquidity of Online News : moving towards a method for content analysis of online news
- 2012
-
Ingår i: International Communication Gazette. - : SAGE Publications. - 1748-0485 .- 1748-0493. ; 74:2, s. 385-402

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Terms such as liquid, dynamic and fluid news have been used to illustrate and emphasize the ever-changing, user-influenced and border-crossing nature of contemporary online news. However, although often used, what such terms actually denote often remains unspecified, and no existing studies have tried to propose a way to measure and analyse the impact of liquidity’s potential on authentic online news. The three-fold purpose of this exploratory study is therefore to move towards a clearer understanding of liquid news and to propose and explore a method of empirically measuring online news’s liquidity.
