De berichtgeving rondom de uitbraak van de Mexicaanse griep in het voorjaar van 2009 was intensief en verontrustend: de Mexicaanse griep zou zich kunnen ontwikkelen tot een gevaarlijke pandemie met veel (dodelijke) slachtoffers, ook in Nederland. Vergelijkingen met de Spaanse Griep en dagenlang nieuws over de wereldwijde verspreiding van het virus...
This study examines the extent to which the highly diverse and volatile Dutch electorate received a diverse offer of political newspaper coverage during the 2006 general election campaign. We measured the level of diversity of five subscription based national newspapers with a partisan history and two free dailies. Two forms of diversity were exami...
De berichtgeving over Wilders' film Fitna tartte maandenlang elke journalistieke wet: hoe langer de film op zich liet wachten, hoe meer media-aandacht over alles wat met Fitna te maken had. Als snel viel het woord ‘mediahype’. Dit onderzoek gaat aan de hand van bestaande criteria na in hoeverre hier inderdaad sprake was van een mediahype. Daarbij b...
For four months, November 2007 until early April 2008, the Dutch newspapers were filled with news coverage about the announced anti-Koran movie of the right-wing politician Geert Wilders. Nobody had seen the movie, but the debate caused four peaks in the news coverage. Soon after the release of the movie the news coverage was labeled a 'media hype'...
Samenvatting
Welk nieuws doet ertoe en hoeveel nieuws doet ertoe, en in welke mate hangt dit af van de politieke kennis van de ontvanger? Dit artikel beschrijft een longitudinale studie naar de verkiezingsstrijd voor het Nederlandse parlement in 2006.
The media's coverage of risk issues is often criticized for neglecting the scientific perspective on risk. This criticism, however, ignores the social context in which journalists operate: they have to report on people's worries about health-threatening issues and they have to cover actions taken by the government to address these worries. The medi...

In April 1992 war in Bosnia broke out. Media coverage was initially modest, but eventually the war received full media attention after the discovery of detention camps in Bosnia. Images of emaciated men behind barbed wire shown worldwide on television provoked memories of pictures from the death camps of World War II and a public outcry to “do some...

... By using the journalism of attachment concept, Ruigrok (2006Ruigrok ( , 2008 illustrated that Dutch media played an important role in creating a rather stereotypical, simplified picture of the Bosnian conflict. My conceptual framework is inspired by the works of Bell (1995), Ruigrok et al. (2005), Ruigrok (2008), van Oppen (2009. In light of this, the journalism of attachment concept will be the main lens through which the paper will analyse the Dutch media reporting on the Second Karabakh conflict. ...

... One possible explanation here might be that the popular press publishes less political news, which would mean fewer opportunities for journalists at these organisations to cite tweets. Though calculating the total number of political news articles was beyond the scope of this study, research does suggest that the Dutch popular press dedicates less space to politics than their quality counterparts (Scholten and Ruigrok 2006). As noted earlier, the dataset consisted of two specific time frames: regular months (January, April, July, and October) and the 4-week general election campaign, which took place between 15 August and September 13, 2012. ...
... In the remaining weeks until the elections the CDA campaign team launched new evidence of the fl ipfl op character of Wouter Bos on a daily basis. At the elections the CDA widened the margin with the PvdA with six seats, but had to build a grand coalition with the PvdA nevertheless because the VVD lost enormously (Kleinnijenhuis, Scholten, Van Atteveldt, Van Hoof, Krouwel, Oegema, and Takens, 2007 ). ...

... Het schandaal is een gecompliceerd begrip omdat het zowel verwijst naar de 'schandelijke' inbreuk op de normen zelf, als naar de maatschappelijke ophef die ontstaat zodra deze misstap of misstand in de openbaarheid is gebracht (Esser & Hartung, 2004;Scholten, Vasterman & Ruigrok, 2007;Adut, 2008). Behalve om een overtreding gaat het bij schandalen vooral ook om het publieke aspect: iets wat geheim was of zich in het verborgene heeft afgespeeld wordt onthuld. ...

... Bias deviates from objectivity, accuracy and realism (McQuail, 1992). While Takens et al. (2010) divided bias into issue-based and actor-based biases, Eberl et al. (2017) identified three bias subtypes (visible bias, tonality bias, and agenda bias). Fiske and Taylor (2013) and Swim et al. (2003) addressed blatant bias and subtle bias. ...
... It is suggested that news has become increasingly negative and the tone towards politicians more and more critical (Patterson, 1994;Kepplinger, 2000). In a longitudinal perspective, tone is used to empirically assess claims about an increasing negativity and focus on conflict in election campaign coverage over the past decades (Scholten and Kleinnijenhuis, 1999;Esser and Hemmer, 2008). Horse race coverage explicitly relates to an emphasis on who is winning and losing in the campaign and commonly refers to poll results for different parties or candidates (Sigelman and Bullock, 1991). ...
... Across disciplines, authors have discussed how institutions, including the news media, should communicate crises and risks (Kitzinger 1999;Sorribes and Rovira 2011;Vasterman et al. 2008). This extends to the coronavirus crisis (Stolow et al. 2020;Wagner and Reifegerste 2022). ...
... [7][8][9][10] Er kunnen zelfs mediahypes ontstaan, wat de kwaliteit van berichtgeving kan beïnvloeden. [11][12][13] De adequate vertaling van wetenschappelijk hersenonderzoek naar een breder publiek dient daarom goed bewaakt te worden. 14 We onderzochten hoe kritisch en nauwkeurig de Nederlandse kranten over wetenschappelijk hersenonderzoek schrijven. ...
... Scientific research in the report showed that the media at the time framed the intervention of the Dutch forces in Bosnia in specific ways. With dramatic pictures of the Omarska prison camp, repeated parallels with the Second World War and explicit demands for military intervention, the media had left the government, as the then prime minister Kok put it, no other option (Scholten et al., 2002). Not only the military, but the media too could be blamed for a climate in which political mistakes could be made (Wieten, 2002). ...
