Snow Fall in the polder. Interactive multimedia productions in Dutch journalism
Interactive multimedia productions are a recent journalistic format. The format has been studied in the Anglo-Saxon context as digital longform and interactive documentary . Research has consequently focused on English language productions. This article presents an over...
With high expectations of audience participation newsmedia started at the beginning of this century with weblogs on their websites. Journalists and readers could publish directly on the media website. The connection with the audience would be strengthened while media would get cheap and relevant content. The main question in this article we want to...
Local reporting has become an endangered occupation. Print publications merge, close down or face budget cuts because audiences and advertisers move online. The result is that fewer journalists are covering local affairs. Online models could be expected to assume the role of traditional print and broadcast media as they are more flexible and cheape...
One of the most common formats of audience participation in journalism consists of online reader comments in response to articles, weblogs, or online television and radio broadcasts. While initially the audience only commented on media platforms themselves, Facebook made it possible to outsource commenting to a third-party platform. The options use...
Although basic features of journalism have remained the same over recent decades, the tasks journalists perform, the skills they need and the position they have within news organizations have changed dramatically. Usually the focus in the discourse on changes in journalism is on skills, especially on multi-media and research skills. In this paper t...
News media are increasingly using Facebook as a platform for distribution and user interaction. This article focuses on how Dutch media use Facebook and how audiences participate. By using Facebook, media outsource part of their distribution to a third party platform, avoiding maintenance costs while also hoping for additional revenues because of t...
Media companies are increasingly active on all kinds of different platforms—combining print and broadcast already was developed in the US more than several decades before. From the mid nineties on media companies expanded by launching websites, often with content coming from other platforms like newspapers, magazines or TV. In the last years—as soc...
More local news media, more of the same news
More local news media, more of the same news
The aim of this study was to map the Dutch local media landscape. What defines this landscape? Are there regional differences? Is any change noticeable in the relationship between offline and online news media?Results show that residents of Dutch municipalitie...
This paper analyses the attempts made by sources to influence journalistic interviews and the way journalists cope with these attempts both in Germany and the Netherlands. Based on interviews with journalists, examples from interviews, material from handbooks and Press Council complaints, a model is developed that describes the different options so...
Wilders and the role of the media
Wilders and the role of the media
Between 2006 and 2011 more than forty empirical studies were published about the Dutch populist Geert Wilders and the role of the media. This article examines which methods and theories are dominant in these studies, and which media and which aspects of the relationship between Wil...
Innovation is about change, and media products and services are changing. The processes of production and distribution of media are changing. The ownership and financing of media are changing. The roles of users are changing. And our ideas about media are changing. This book argues that innovation theory provides better tools for media researchers...
Verifying information is one of the core activities of journalism, however recent research shows many stories derive from unchecked information from news agencies and PR material. That being said, reporters who do not use this pre-packaged material, but who instead produce original
stories based on independent research, might be journalists who sta...
The business model of gathering, producing and distributing news is changing rapidly. Producing content is not enough; moderation and curation by “news workers” is at least as important. There is a growing pressure on news organizations to produce more inexpensive content for digital platforms, resulting in new models of low-cost or even free conte...
Journalism without infrastructure – a real option?
Journalism without infrastructure – a real option?
Dutch media are facing decreasing revenues and size of editorial staff. Inviting ‘ordinary’ citizens to participate in the process of newsgathering is one possibility to cope with these problems. Experiences with citizen journalism and user-generat...
Free newspapers were one of the big stories of the noughties, and came to symbolise the primacy of ‘free’ and the imminent demise of paid-for papers. No longer! Piet Bakker charts their rise and fall and describes the conditions in which some might thrive again.
De regionale krant had het zwaar te verduren in de afgelopen 20 jaar. In deel 1 van deze serie bleek dat de totale oplage kromp met meer dan dertig procent en in deel 2 kwam naar voren dat sommige titels de helft van hun oplage verloren. Is het einde nabij voor regionale dagbladen? Zo’n vaart loopt het nog niet, volgens krantenkenner Piet Bakker, w...
En este artículo se analiza cómo la prensa gratuita se ha visto gravemente afectada por la crisis financiera global. En el texto, se pone de manifiesto la vulnerabilidad económica de este tipo de medios en comparación con otros. Sin embargo, la reciente sacudida que ha sufrido este tipo de prensa, no quiere decir que el modelo se haya agotado. Lo m...
Afgelopen vrijdag vond in Amsterdam een symposium plaats naar aanleiding van een inventarisatie die de mediawetenschappers Kees Brants en Peter Vasterman hebben gemaakt van het onderzoek dat in Nederland gedaan wordt naar de journalistiek. Volgens Piet Bakker, lector aan de Hogeschool Utrecht, is er volop onderzoek, maar blijft het onzichtbaar en z...
De regionale krant had het zwaar te verduren in de afgelopen 20 jaar. Dat bleek uit deel 1 van deze serie: de totale oplage kromp met meer dan dertig procent en concurrerende regionale titels zijn vrijwel uitgestorven in Nederland. In deel 2 neemt krantenkenner Piet Bakker de individuele titels onder loep: het Limburgs Dagblad en de Gooi- en Eemlan...
Journalism without infrastructure - a real option? Dutch media are facing decreasing revenues and size of editorial staff. Inviting 'ordinary' citizens to participate in the process of newsgathering is one possibility to cope with these problems. Experiences with citizen journalism and user-generated content, however, are mixed. Journalistic qualit...
• In the professional news media, invitations to submit photos and video material are the most common means of allowing citizens to participate in the content production, as opposed to merely commenting on professional material. Based on interviews with leading journalists in different media in the Netherlands, this study examines how professional...
Interviews with twenty executives and editors of Dutch broadcasters and newspapers indicate that the contribution of user-generated content (UGC) like comments, blogs, photos and videos to journalism were rather modest. In contrast to other studies, however, the reason seems to be a lack of interest or skills by the audience; amateur journalism is...
Free newspapers are making headway in markets around the world, many from publishers of traditional dailies. These companies are developing diverse ways to incorporate and mesh their product lines.
Overzichtsartikel over ontwikkelingen op de arbeidsmarkt.
Zes lectoren van Hogeschool Utrecht schreven elk een essay over de ontwikkeling van de beroepspraktijk in hun werkveld. Daaraan gekoppeld hebben wij talentvolle hbo-professionals uit datzelfde vakgebied geïnterviewd over de vraag wat zij geleerd hebben op de hogeschool, hoe ze dat in de praktijk toepassen en wat zij nu verder in de praktijk leren....
Launched in 1999 to keep the Swedes out, Metro has since spread across the UK. Its success has led to the mixed free/paid model adopted by some papers, to other publishers piling in to get a slice of the freesheet action and to the current melee in London. How will it all end? Piet Bakker looks back over a tumultuous decade.
Subsidie. Staatssteun. Overheidsgeld. Tot een half jaar geleden waren dit taboewoorden als het om de dagbladsector ging. Hoe geloofwaardig ben je nog als je financieel afhankelijk bent van een overheid die je tegelijkertijd moest controleren? Maar sinds de instelling van de Commissie Brinkman is de geest van de overheidssubsidie uit de fles en waar...
De discussie over online nieuws gaat nog maar over één ding: gaat de consument betalen? De verantwoordelijkheid ligt kennelijk bij de klant. De andere kant van de toonbank blijft buiten schot: hoe wordt eigenlijk de prijs bepaald die klanten moeten betalen? Terwijl er in die nieuwswinkel grote veranderingen plaatsvinden: afdelingen worden samengevo...
Paid dailies in Europe have seen their circulation decline by 14 million between 1995 and 2006. During the same period circulation of free daily newspapers has increased by more than 28 million. This article maps the development of paid and free circulation newspapers in Europe. It then analyses the relation between the two developments to assess w...
Newspaper advertising expenditures depend more strongly on economic development than advertising spent in other media. Gross domestic product (GDP), therefore, predicts ad spending better in countries where newspapers are an important advertising medium. GDP also predicts ad spending better in countries where a larger proportion of GDP is spent on...

Denmark became the most competing newspaper market in Europe within a few months after five free dailies launched between August and October 2006. The direct consequences on current affairs journalism will be quite minimal as journalism for commercial media is not new at all and the professional level is not likely to differ. Examples from other co...

Music downloads from the Internet have been bothering the music industry since 1997. To protect their main source of income the music industry has employed different strategies: lawsuits against downloading services and users of these services; technical solutions to prevent CD-ripping; information campaigns; and lobbying for stricter copyright law...
Free daily newspapers, first introduced in Sweden in 1995, have proved to be much more than a passing phenomenon. By 2002, 80 free daily newspapers were introduced in 26 countries, 60 of them still exist. In thirteen countries free papers are responsible for more than ten percent of the total daily weekday circulation. The total circulation of the...
The Netherlands belongs to the cluster of Northern and Central European nations with high levels of newspaper readership. According to figures for 2002, 64 daily newspapers are sold in every 100 households. From 1980 until 1997, approximately 4.5 million newspapers were printed every day. However, since 1997 this figure has declined to 4.2 million...

In reactie op teruglopende abonnee- en advertentie-inkomsten en een veranderende nieuwsvraag, experimenteren regionale nieuwsmedia in Nederland met het verbreden van het digitale aanbod van nieuws en het centraliseren van het nieuwsproces. Deze convergentie naar het newsroommodel heeft gevolgen voor de bedrijfsmatige en journalistieke organisatie....
