Abstract
This essay examines how Klartext adapts its news reporting to people with cognitive disabilities. This is carried out through a qualitative content analysis where news in Klartext's broadcasts is compared with the same news in the radio program Ekot and news on the radio channel P4. Through this comparison, conditions are created to investigate how Klartext reworks news for its format. This analysis is based on media logic theory, where storytelling techniques are used to understand the way Klartext adapts news to its format. In addition, the analysis is based on advice on easy-to-read writing, something that in this context works as an ideal for ways in which comprehensibility is created in content. The survey reveals four consistent... (More)
This essay examines how Klartext adapts its news reporting to people with cognitive disabilities. This is carried out through a qualitative content analysis where news in Klartext's broadcasts is compared with the same news in the radio program Ekot and news on the radio channel P4. Through this comparison, conditions are created to investigate how Klartext reworks news for its format. This analysis is based on media logic theory, where storytelling techniques are used to understand the way Klartext adapts news to its format. In addition, the analysis is based on advice on easy-to-read writing, something that in this context works as an ideal for ways in which comprehensibility is created in content. The survey reveals four consistent themes that characterize Klartext's news features. Target group adaptation appears to occur by simplifying information, either by reformulating, removing or explaining the information. In addition, there is a trend of personification, as well as chronology and a common thread being emphasized through the news items. In particularly complex news events, there also seems to be an explanatory ambition. What the survey finds is that P4 and Ekot have a greater opportunity to adapt the way in which news is told to create interest, while Klartext's way of explaining news is rather aimed at handling an excess of information.
