Language: English Summary language: Swedish Series: Working paper series / Logistics and Transport Research Group, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg ; 2024:1 Publication details: Göteborg : University of Gothenburg. School of Business, Economics and Law, 2024Description: 40 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Traditionally, passenger traffic and infrastructure projects are covered on the news pages of newspapers, while freight issues are at best "hidden away" on the economy pages or mostly covered in the industry press. But during the pandemic, the public was widely exposed to freight transport in general media, as goods not arriving on time or container shipping rates being extremely expensive attracted the attention of a larger audience. Covering that time, this report is based on media documents, scientific publications and a series of interviews, and the study aims at going beyond the anecdotal reporting and capture what happened and why.Abstract: Traditionellt bevakas persontransporter och infrastrukturprojekt på tidningarnas nyhetssidor, medan godstransporter i bästa fall "göms undan" på ekonomisidorna men mest bevakas av branschpressen. Men under pandemin exponerades allmänheten för godstransporter i allmänna medier, även om det mest handlade om att varor inte kom fram eller att containerfrakten var dyr. Denna rapport är baserad på mediedokument, vetenskapliga publikationer och en serie intervjuer och studien syftar till att gå bortom den anekdotiska rapporteringen och fånga vad som hände och varför.Traditionally, passenger traffic and infrastructure projects are covered on the news pages of newspapers, while freight issues are at best "hidden away" on the economy pages or mostly covered in the industry press.
