| Summary: | The aim of this bachelor thesis was to examine how the reader perceived the media's reporting during #metoo, and if the reader’s trust in Swedish journalism was affected after publishing the names of suspected offenders. The research questions examined were: How did readers perceive the Swedish media coverage of #metoo? Has the general confidence in Swedish journalism been affected after #metoo? How do the readers perceive Martin Timell today, after he was acquitted of crime? Do the readers think that the name publication of suspected offenders during #metoo was justified? We used a survey study to investigate our selected research questions. 214 participators took the survey and responded to 9 questions. The image of Martin Timell that was framed in the media in autumn 2017 generally remains, and despite Timell's acquittal of accusations, the reader perceives him as guilty.
