Abstract (Swedish)
Denna studie undersöker hur skolor kan bli bättre på att hantera nätmobbning
genom strategisk kommunikation och issues management. Problematiken grundar sig i ett förändrat medieklimat och uppkomsten av en ny synlighetskultur. Genom en fallstudie av två skånska gynmasieskolor har jag genom kvalitativa intervjuer studerat hur elever förhåller sig till nätmobbning, hur de vill berätta om nätmobbning till skolan, samt vilka förslag de har på hur skolor kan förbättra deras issues management. Intervjuer med skolpersonal och analys av styrdokument har även genomförts. Resultaten pekar på vikten av att skapa ett öppet kommunikationsklimat och en krismedveten organisation. Vidare visar studien att skolor behöver öka ansvarskänslan inom... (More)

Vidare visar studien att skolor behöver öka ansvarskänslan inom organisationen samt minska avståndet mellan lärare och elever. Det strategiska arbetet mot nätmobbning måste förankras i organisationskulturen för att det ska bli effektivt på längre sikt. (Less)
Abstract
This study explores how schools can better handle cyberbullying through strategic communication and issues management. The problem stems from a change in the media climate and the rise of a new visibility culture.

Interviews with school staff and analysis of documents have also been conducted. The results indicate the importance for schools to build an open communication climate and a crisis-aware organization. Furthermore, the study shows that schools need to increase the sense of...

Furthermore, the study shows that schools need to increase the sense of moral responsibility within the organization, and close the gap between teachers and students. The strategic work against cyberbullying has to be anchored in the organizational culture for it to be effective in the long-term. (Less)
