Framing the Swedish #metoo movement

• The #metoo movement’s aim was to create awareness of and show how widespread and systematic sexual harassment is in working life. The movement received much attention in Swedish news media, especially in the initial phase between October and December 2017 (Eklund, 2018). However, we know less of what the reports looked like. Using quantitative content analysis, this papers investigates how Swedish news media reported on the metoo-movement in its initial phase, focusing specifically on what contexts and focus dominated (individual, extra-ordinary cases, or collective petitions of ordinary women), and whether the issues were framed as episodic or thematic.
