“…Several studies also present creative and resourceful narratives related to children's learning (Pahl et al, 2023;Yoon, 2023), thereby nuancing dominant discourses. Srivastava (2014) argues that each child is an individual and that children participate in social groups to create a culture of their own. It is therefore necessary to explore nuances in children's experiences and how such nuances are (or are not) presented in media, not least since potential gaps can be identified in terms of what daily newspapers choose to present.…”

This study focuses on children’s voices as they were presented in Swedish newspapers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the ways in which journalists featured children’s experiences of everyday life during a time of crisis. A descriptive, thematic text analysis of 83 articles resulted in four prominent themes: children’s voices as a mouthpiece for or against school closure, children as cocreators of a new normal daily life, children as responsible and caring citizens, and COVID-19 as a magnifying glass for existing vulnerabilities in everyday life. The selection and representation of children’s viewpoints was adult led and limited, and the study thus calls for further research on media constructions of children/childhood and related consequences.
