This essay is about the Storstrejken of 1909 and how the conflict unfolded in the daily press with an angle towards Kalmar. To carry out this work, the bourgeois newspaper Kalmar Barometern has been used and compared with the worker's newspaper during the strike: Svaret. The methods used are qualitative analysis and comparative analysis and the theory is based on Klas Åmark's theories about power and power resources. The newspapers were compared, and methods were distinguished where it emerged, among other things, that the newspapers use all the methods they could muster to influence their readers to stay on the newspaper's side and leave the opponent's. This is to maintain their power resources and reduce the opponent's. The bourgeois side emerged victoriously from the battle despite Kalmar Barometer's reduced interest in the conflict during its last days. Svaret did not want to admit the loss despite the closure of the conflict.
