Carl Eos wrote that the Swedish Academy had decided to award Cecilia Uddén the Nobel Prize in Literature and described her Middle Eastern reporting for Sveriges Radio as fiction that had freed itself from reality. He claimed that events and causal relationships in her reporting were subordinated to an internal narrative logic and mentioned Gaza, Beirut, and Damascus as environments that served as backdrops. According to Eos, the award rewarded a literary development in which the outside world no longer corrected what was depicted. #Nobelpriset #Litteratur #Journalistik (translated)

Edward Blom criticized Svenska Dagbladet's news article by Oskar Carlsson, which he believed was biased and took the side of the French rioters. According to Blom, the article focused on one of them being injured and described him as a boy, even though he was 15 years old, while showing a picture of demonstrators fleeing from police tear gas. Blom claimed that the article did not depict violence against teachers and emergency services. He cited using flamethrowers against someone's face, burning fire trucks, and kicking lying police officers as examples of actions he considered to be riots and terrorism, not demonstrations. #Sverige #Nyheter #Terrorism (translated)

Malin Ekman wrote that men, according to her, had begun to adopt less flattering traits traditionally associated with women, especially men in public life. She argued that they moralized to maintain their place in social communities and pointed to Alex Schulman as an example. After Dagens Nyheter recruited him, he had, according to Ekman, repeated left-liberal positions already put forward by colleagues and expressed indignation over issues that fit within that environment. Most recently, he had reacted with disgust to support for Stefan Holm, who, according to Ekman, had attacked Schulman's friend in a bar after the friend had jokingly mentioned on TV eight years earlier about killing Holm and his son. Ekman described the mockery of Holm as typical of a community where people constantly judged who was accepted and who it was safe to mock. She argued that those who supported Holm did not necessarily defend his long-standing grievances or propensity for violence, but rather his right to stand up for himself and his family even when it went against prevailing notions of right and wrong. According to Ekman, they instead despised men like Schulman, whom she described as adaptable and prone to decide who could be ostracized. #mansfrågor #feminism #könsroller (translated)
