Abstract
Description
In my Bachelor's work I studied the texts on information society in Eesti Päevaleht and
Postimees in the timerange of 2002 – 2004. My goal was to map different aspects of the texts
focusing on different aspects of the information society and to find a media definition for
information society through the themes in the text. For this I compared the themes of journalistic
texts to Frank Webster's theoretical framework for defining information society using content
and qualitative analysis.
The representation of information society concentrates mainly on the themes of
technology and economy. The main functions of the journalistic texts are mostly informing or
advertising.
As in theory, the concept of information society in media is very wide and
multidimensional. Thus I came to the conclusion that the media concept of information society
cannot be fully defined based only on this research. Some additional research (eg qualitative
analysis of photos) is needed.
