The news noise about the United States is sometimes deafening. The new podcast Amerikaanalys (in Swedish) should appeal to those who really want to understand what is happening, and why, in American politics and social development. We discuss topics that do not really fit into the usual news flow. Together with a US-based journalist, researchers from Halmstad University and Uppsala University talk in depth about the complex and difficult issues.

How do Swedes get their information about the U.S.?  What role do Swedish correspondents in the U.S. play?  How does the news reporting shape our understanding of the United States? What role does the current president of the United States play for the Swedish (and general) news coverage of the U.S.? What has the changing media landscape of recent years meant? How does the news reporting relate the general Swedish image of the U.S.? And what does the intense focus on news from America mean for reporting from other parts of the world?
