description The subject of this thesis is of prostitution in Iceland and its changing image over the years. The thesis also looks at how effective the publicity, the fourth estate is when it comes to legislation in relations to the matter. The history of prostitution in Iceland is not clear. In the past the matter was a hidden problem, which was not talked or written about. When researching for this thesis it was important to go through the available literature on the matter to be able to reflect the most accurate image of the history of prostitution and its origin. Newspaper articles were used to look at the history of coverage and its time of publication compared to legislation change on the matter. Timarit.is and Credidinfo.is were mainly used to collect information for the essay and the web server was used as well to research the more recent period of 2009-2010. The keyword that was used was “Vændi á Íslandi”/prostitution in Iceland. The main conclusion was that there is a connection between the law changes and how the discussion is reflected in the society. Viðfangsefni þessa verkefnis er saga vændis á Íslandi og hvernig ímynd þess hefur þróast í gegnum árin. Einnig er skoðað hversu áhrifarík umfjöllunin er og fjórða valdið, fjölmiðlarnir, þegar kemur að lagabreytingum á vændi. Saga vændis á Íslandi er mjög óljós. Á löngum tíma var þessi vandi mjög vel falinn og ekki talað um hann né skrifað. Til að gera þetta verkefni var farið yfir gamlar sögubækur til að fá sem skýrustu mynd af sögu og upphafi vændis.
