Swedish press council 1916-1987

'Swedish Press Council 1916-1987' was part of the research project 'Publicistisk Sed'. The study is based on a review of the archives of the Press Council and the Press Ombudsman. Based on diaries and archived documents for each case, information has been transferred to a code scheme for data processing. The study focuses on the cases that have been received by the Swedish Press Council and the Press Ombudsman during the years 1916 to 1987. This means that all cases received have been coded, regardless of whether they have been formally processed or not. Even cases that have been written off directly have thus been considered part of the work performed.
In order to gain some knowledge of the role played by individual newspapers, the name of each newspaper reported has been recorded. This information, together with information on the year and decision in the case, has been collected in a separate file.
