This essays scientific methodology is a qualitative one, its aim was to find out what function the dominant Swedish news media has in a modern neo-liberal state. Its secondary aim was to find out what function the reader has in relation to the news media and to the democratic state. To be able to successfully answer these aims a set of questions was constructed and posed;
Is the news apparatus critical to the superstructure?
How is the current discourse regarding individual liberties and rights construed and reported on? Are they in line with the definitions that classical liberalism constructed, in which our liberal democracy is founded on?
Is the Swedish society’s power structures, the base and the superstructure, examined and/or criticized in the dominant news media?
The empirical data which this essay has collected are newspaper articles written by journalists from the dominant Swedish newspapers. These are analyzed and examined through the appliance of certain theories, the most prominent of these are Michelle Foucault’s discourse analyzes, certain aspects of Jacques Derrida’s methodology has also proved useful in rooting through the fiction. Other useful tools, in deciding which discourses should be pursued has been; the mapping and definition of Swedish ideology and also the mapping of Swedish power structures and its centers. Once analyzed what is immediately clear is that certain aspects of discourses or discourses in of themselves are fully ignored.
