The economist criticized Swedish media for allegedly giving little attention to Tesla's Roadster, despite him describing it as a flying car. He compared the coverage to the significant space the media gave to new iPhone models with more megapixels and argued that Elon Musk's controversial stance seemed to weigh heavier than tech reporting. As an example of Aftonbladet's priorities, he mentioned headlines about Ingrosso's feelings, a 200-meter-long queue at a candy store, and celebrities picking mushrooms. He believed that potentially groundbreaking technology instead ended up far down the page or was met with criticism about the price. #journalistik #medier #Tesla (translated)

HWL wrote that TV4 reported from Brussels, where EU leaders met to discuss Ukraine. According to HWL, the reporter criticized the U.S. purchase of Russian diesel and said that Trump was not trustworthy. The reporter described this as "the very worst in the situation," wrote HWL. HWL simultaneously claimed that the EU shut down its own industry while the union bought Russian LNG gas at record levels and imported Russian oil via India. HWL criticized the reporter for not pointing out that Europe, according to the post, was buying the same Russian energy indirectly and accused the reporting of protecting a narrative. HWL asked why the EU could buy Russian oil through intermediaries while the U.S. could not buy Russian diesel. #EU #Journalistik #Ukraina (translated)

Mira Klang wrote that the man had previously asked to write columns for various newspapers and had also asked her, when she was on parental leave, if Riks would publish his texts. After receiving a title with the word "senior," he seemed, according to Klang, arrogant and as if he considered himself above those who had long publicly taken a stand on issues that he now dismissed with jokes. She also accused him of turning against her by participating in what she perceived as a coordinated public reprimand from a single individual within the party. This occurred after her response to his article on nationalism, where he, according to Klang, suggested that anyone who recognized Swedes as an ethnic group was a racist. Klang wrote that she disliked when the debate was about individuals rather than reasoning, but that the issue was important to her. She said that she did not intend to contribute to legitimizing the behavior and that one should not remain silent when someone lets you down. #debatt #yttrandefrihet #journalistik (translated)

Bengt G. Nilsson, former journalist at SVT, wrote that SVT and SR served a group that he described as a "genocide sect." He identified Sami Abu Salem as the most well-known Palestinian journalist in this context and claimed that SR's Middle East correspondent Cecilia Uddén almost entirely relied on his reporting from within. #Medier #Journalistik #MellanÖstern #SE #PS (translated)

Katrine Daugaard wrote that a DR journalist sounded shocked and linked it to a bias that she believed could help explain why people who do not want criminal foreigners expelled were not met with similarly critical interviews. She also referred to individuals who did not believe that foreigners with expired residence permits or asylum rejections necessarily had to leave the country. #dkpol #dkpol #journalistik #asyl (translated)

Tessan Ma wrote that she had seen the unedited interview with 100 percent that an SVT reporter had done earlier. She believed that the reporter unreasonably blamed other media for the diminished trust in public service, and argued that public service itself must rebuild that trust. Ma compared it to how the Social Democrats, according to her, blamed their worst election result since universal suffrage on the Sweden Democrats. https://t.co/oW4Uo7HiKl #journalistik #publicservice #svpol (translated)

The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Magnus Ranstorp articulated the writer's thoughts on why SVT and SVT Nyheter did not get a day to themselves to grieve. The writer asked what one got for the money and described journalism as operating in the "swamps" along with Cecilia Uddén. #svpol #journalistik #sverige #svt (translated)

Emilie Jäger wrote that she was proud to work at B.T., which she described as a free and independent media outlet with a civic foundation. According to her, this was reflected both in the newspaper's debate section and in the choice of topics. She believed that Denmark needed different media and mentioned Information, Politiken, DR, and B.T. as examples. Jäger wrote that she often received calls from dissatisfied politicians and their advisers, and occasionally even ministers. However, she had not experienced internal pressure from bosses regarding her political beliefs or about covering anyone in a certain way. She believed that B.T. also adhered to fundamental journalistic principles of hearing all parties, faithfully representing their viewpoints, and describing facts. According to Jäger, sources she interviewed both within and outside Christiansborg were sometimes dissatisfied, but her impression was that sources on both the right and left generally felt professionally treated. She also wrote that her management and colleagues, along with her, had turned a large deficit into a million-dollar surplus, while the newspaper played an important role in Danish democracy. #journalistik #demokrati #BorgerligtMedie (translated)

Jotam Confino wrote that several B.T. employees had publicly criticized the development of the media. According to him, they believed that B.T. had been used for an ideological project, that journalistic independence had been compromised, and that employees had allegedly been called in for discussions about their opinions. Confino wrote that he was not aware of any of the critics resigning, and that he personally believed it was free for both employees and others to criticize the media. As one of B.T.'s public profiles, Confino described his own experiences. He wrote that he had never received instructions about journalistic angles or been pressured to follow an ideological line. He also had not been in a conversation about his opinions or been told to be more critical of the left than the right, he wrote. Confino described his bosses as skilled and professional and said that he felt he had full journalistic freedom. Confino highlighted B.T.'s bourgeois profile and wrote that an editorial line did not in itself mean that the media was politically controlled. He asked why there was no corresponding criticism of Information, Politiken, or TV 2. He also criticized colleagues from other media, ministers, and party leaders for, in his opinion, contributing to doubts about B.T.'s independence. He pointed to B.T.'s coverage of the mink scandal, Enhedslisten's support for a terrorist organization, which according to his post was involved in the murder of a 21-year-old student from Tanzania, and anti-Semitism, among other things, in Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. Confino wrote that B.T. had made significant progress both in readership and economy, and that he was proud to be part of the media and supported the management. #BT #journalistik #medier (translated)
