curriculum vitae
Welcome to my website. Unfortunately most of its content is in Swedish, but on this page you can find my curriculum vitae, including information with regards to my publications. Generally speaking, my research is focused on political communication, in Sweden and in a comparative perspective. More specifically, most of my research is focused on four broad areas of interest:
1) Political news journalism and election news coverage,
2) Political marketing and strategic political communication,
3) The media’s role in opinion formation processes, and
4) The mediatization of politics
Until 2002 I only wrote in Swedish, but since 2003 I have focused more and more on writing in English and on doing comparative research together with colleagues in other countries. Below you can find a list of all my publications, and I have also collected my English publications here: English Publications. Some of them can be also be downloaded here. If you are interested in any paper or article, which cannot be downloaded at this site, please just send me an email and I will send it to you.
