After the Iron Curtain : How five Swedish newspapers predicted the future after the fall of the Berlin Wall (English)
Abstract [en]

This study explores how Swedish newspapers reported on the future following the fall of the Berlin Wall. The analysis covered the period from November 9, 1989, to November 20, 1989. Material was gathered from five established Swedish newspapers to compare their reporting. Using qualitative analysis and an analytical framework, the study examined the newspapers' coverage. Through the lens of framing theory and the responses from the analysis, the study revealed how Swedish newspapers reported the event. The results show that most Swedish newspapers shared an optimistic and hopeful outlook for the future after the Berlin Wall's fall. They reported that the Wall's collapse would lead to reduced Cold War tensions between East and West, increased openness among previously divided populations, and enhanced cooperation within European communities. Nonetheless, there were also concerns and uncertainties, particularly regarding security policy, economic issues, the potential rise of Germany as a new military and economic power, and the overall negative political changes that could occur in Europe.
