Abstract [sv]

Äldre personer, det vill säga personer som är 65 år eller äldre, är en relativt bortglömd grupp inom medias rapportering. Gruppen syns sällan i mediesammanhang, och kommer mycket sällan till tals. Detta blir mest tydligt när det gäller frågor som rör äldre personer, då äldres röster lyser med sin frånvaro. Denna studie har till syfte att undersöka hur äldre personer framställs i media idag. Med hjälp av den kritiska diskursanalysen analyseras 20 artiklar från de två största dagstidningarna i Sverige: Aftonbladet och Expressen. Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys samt Laclaus och Mouffes diskursteori används för att bidra till ökad förståelse för hur diskurser kring äldre personer kommer till uttryck i media.

Abstract [en]

Elderly people, meaning people who are 65 years of age or older, is a relatively forgotten group within the media covering. The group is rarely seen within the media, and they rarely get an opportunity to speak their mind. This is mostly visible when questions regarding older people are discussed, since older people will rarely be involved. This study aims to investigate how older people are portrayed in media today. Using the critical discourse analysis, 20 articles from the two biggest daily newspapers in Sweden: Aftonbladet and Expressen will be analyzed. Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis and Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory are used to contribute to increased understanding of how the situation of how discourses regarding older people is presented by the media.
