Source Specification
Newspapers Eighty-eight articles, from 1991 to June 2012, from twelve newspapers: first, the top ten (in terms of circulation) paid-for Swedish newspapers: the three major metropolitan morning papers Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, and Göteborgs Posten; the local regional morning papers Sydsvenska Dagbladet and Helsingborgs Dagblad; the evening tabloids Aftonbladet, Expressen, Göteborgs-Tidningen, and Kvällsposten; and the daily morning financial newspaper Dagens Industri; second, the two strategic additions of (i) the local regional morning paper Borås tidning, because Borås is the location of the Swedish School of Textiles at the University of Borås and silver is increasingly used in textiles, and (ii) the weekly newspaper Ny Teknik because of its focus on technology, engineering, and innovation.
