New electronic tablet devices are often referred to as either saviours of newspapers or killers of traditional print media. These crude statements are based on a naive concept of media substitution and an overestimation of the actual use of new media for news consumption. It is much more likely that substitution will be marginal, and that the potential is much more in giving existing readers more options while attacking new users. Publishers should treat tablet devices as options, concentrating on issues like business models, free, freemium, sponsored and paid content, DRM, in-app payment models, partnerships, user-generated content, design and interface options. Academic research on the use of tablets is not yet available as these devices are not available on a massive scale, only appearing on the market since the spring of 2010, but experiences by many publishers of newspapers and magazines already provide us with enough material to map possibilities and no-go areas for publishers of news content

Paper voor Politicologenetmaal. Informatievoorziening over lokale politiek was traditioneel de taak van de lokale en regionale media waarbij kranten, huis-aan-huisbladen, lokale - en regionale omroep een belangrijke rol speelden. De rol van deze media wordt langzamerhand kleiner omdat oplagen dalen en de concurrentie van nieuwe digitale media toeneemt. De vraag die in deze bijdrage centraal staat, is welke bijdrage traditionele en nieuwe digitale media leveren aan de informatievoorziening op lokaal (gemeentelijk) niveau. Worden de hoog gespannen verwachtingen op dit terrein daadwerkelijk ingelost? In twee Nederlandse gemeenten in de provincie Utrecht (Leusden en Bunschoten) is deze problematiek getest door alle mediakanalen te inventariseren en gedurende één week de inhoud van deze kanalen te checken op de aanwezigheid van nieuws en informatie die over bestuurlijke politieke aangelegenheden gingen. Uit de resultaten bleek dat er een indrukwekkend aantal print- en audiovisuele media en digitale kanalen aanwezig is in beide plaatsen maar dat veel van deze media geen enkele bijdrage leverden aan de informatievoorziening op politiek gebied. Met name de nieuwe digitale media lieten het afweten, zij bevatten geen nieuws of geen origineel nieuws; hun bijdrage – voor zover aanwezig – beperkte zich tot het doorgeven van nieuws dat elders was verzameld. Ook traditionele media droegen maar matig bij aan de informatievoorziening, er werd sterk geleund op institutionele bronnen zoals gemeente en politieke partijen voor de berichtgeving.

Non-discursive practices such as the economy and political constellations have always caused shifts in history. However, in the network society of today, these shifts have become omnipresent. Globalization of health and medical tourism have created a shift or rupture in the history of healthcare provision and into the lives of different stakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to detect and assess the rupture caused by global health care or medical tourism within the field of the written media, in order to define the reality of medical tourism as a trans-historical field. The methodology of this study comprised an extensive discourse analysis of written and new media performed over a time frame of more than a decade. Market, medical, ethical and patient discourses were detected along scientific sources, international and local newspapers. Results indicate that a change in the market discourse has caused a shift in the attitude towards medical tourism, where ethical voices are seen as submissive to the market logic. In the current time perspective, medical tourism has become more mature with the development of non-ethical counterparts such as organ tourism and reproductive tourism as a consequence. The research framework shows that the general public receives a normative message from the medical tourism sector.

In the past two years [2010-2012] we have done research on the visitor experience of music festivals. We conducted several surveys asking festival visitors for demographic variables, taste in music, their motivation for visiting festivals, mentalities and the evaluation of the festival. We also asked for the use of social media before, after and during the festival. Results show that visitors using social media have a significantly different festival experience from users that do not use social media before, during or after the festival. Results on difference in festival satisfaction are mixed.

Used by millions on a daily basis Web 2 and social media have become part of our lives; Facebook arguably developed into the largest online group worldwide with some 800 million users - or one seventh of the world's population. (Facebook, 2011) This paper reviews social media and provides a general overview of the same from the perspective of an independent documentary filmmaker. The paper investigates use of social media during the Arab Spring and Wall Street Movement (Occupy, 2011) and compares social- with traditional media. Using the example of the documentary 'God, Church, Pills & Condoms' (F Kohle, A Cuevas, 2011) the tools social media offers are examined and their applications are discussed. Web 2 is the accumulative sum of print, radio, TV and film, offering an ever-increasing amount of content. What are the implications and challenges for Documentary filmmakers? How can documentary filmmakers explore the full potential of social media? Does social media really offer an alternative to traditional content commissioning, content development and distribution as well as fund raising? The paper concludes by examining future trends for social media and potential applications in documentary filmmaking.

Gedragsveranderende gezondheidscommunicatie is voor veel communicatieprofessionals een uitdaging. Ontwikkelingen op het gebied van interactieve media kunnen hierbij een doorslaggevende rol spelen. De gezondheidsprofessional krijgt hierdoor nieuw gereedschap in handen. In dit artikel wordt uiteengezet hoe interactieve media strategisch kunnen worden ingezet ten einde de effectiviteit te vergroten van een drietal belangrijke ommunicatiestrategieën: inhaken op het kritieke moment, voelbaar maken van sociale druk en afstemming op het individu.
