    Worldwide Readership Research Symposium 2007 Session 2 Paper 9 FREE NEWSPAPER READERSHIP Piet Bakker, Amsterdam School of Communications Research, University of Amsterdam Abstract Twelve years after the introduction of the first free commuter newspaper in Sweden, circulation of free newspapers has risen to 40 million daily copies. Readership of free newspapers is more complex and in many cases harder to pin down. In general it is different from readership of paid newspapers. The first difference concerns the demographics of the readers: free papers target the affluent 18 to 34 group and in many cases try to achieve that by choosing particular ways of distribution, and also by concentrating on specific content. Age, indeed seems to be significantly lower in most cases although the average readers does not seem to be particularly wealthy. The second distinct feature is the amount of unique readers of free newspaper. Results on the few available cases indicate that around half of the readers only read papers although also lower levels have been reported. The third issue concerns readers per copy. The traditional free commuter daily can reach to a rather high number of readers per copy; but with many markets reaching free newspaper saturation this number seems to be dropping, whereas free door-to-door distributed free papers and afternoon papers have a lower readership per copy. In this paper we will present information on these three issues from a dozen markets, using audited readership data. Free Newspaper Readership The World Association of Newspapers (2007) reported on the year 2006 that daily circulation of newspapers increased with 4.61 percent (25 million copies) compared to 2005.

  • Populair En/Of Kwaliteit? De Vlaamse Pers Over De Zaak-Dutroux Jan
    Populair en/of kwaliteit? De Vlaamse pers over de zaak-Dutroux Jan Manssens Stefaan Walgrave 1 december 1998 2 1 Inleiding: de pers ter discussie Het zijn boeiende tijden voor wetenschappers die de Vlaamse pers gade- slaan. Na de introductie van de Vlaamse commerciële televisie, nu al bijna 10 jaar geleden, en het getrek en geduw dat daarmee gepaard ging, is het debat stilaan verschoven naar andere en interessantere domeinen. Het is vooral de geschreven pers die momenteel de aandacht trekt. Het gaat dan onder meer om de maatschappelijke en wetenschappelijke discussie over de rol van de pers in de Witte Mars, over het probleem van de nieuwsconstruc- tie en om de vragen die de ontzuiling en de commerciële concentratiebewe- ging doet rijzen. Elders beschreven we hoe de Vlaamse pers op 20 oktober 1996 de klassie- ke mobilisatietheorie in de wind zette en er mee voor zorgde dat 300.000 mensen in de Witte Mars door Brussel opstapten (Walgrave & Manssens, 1998). De traditioneel mobiliserende middenveld-machinerie was in geen velden of wegen te bekennen en bewegingswatchers gaven vooraf dan ook geen cent voor een geslaagde manifestatie. Het politieke signaal dat van de witte massa uitging, was even groot als de sociologenconsternatie achteraf: hun traditionele mobilisatieschema’s leken aan herziening toe. De pers functioneerde in de periode vlak voor de Witte Mars als een virtueel mid- denveld dat de taken en functies van de traditionele mobilisatie-organisaties overnam. Vooral in Vlaanderen heeft de pers op de emotionele golf van de tragische gebeurtenissen een politiek evenement gecreëerd. Dat is iets wat ook Pol Deltour - journalist van De Morgen en lid van de Raad voor Deon- tologie van de Journalistenbond AVBB – stelt (Deltour, 1998, 17).

  • From an Institutionalized Manifest Catholic to a Latent Christian Pillar
    Karel Dobbelaere1 Оригинални научни рад Catholic University of Leuven and University of Antwerp, Belgium UDK 322(493) RELIGION AND POLITICS IN BELGIUM: FROM AN INSTITUTIONALIZED MANIFEST CATHOLIC TO A LATENT CHRISTIAN PILLAR Abstract After having described the historical basis of the process of pillarization in Belgium, the author explains the emergence of the Catholic pillar as a defence mechanism of the Catholic Church and the Catholic leadership to protect the Catholic flock from sec- ularization. He describes the different services the Catholic pillar was offering for its members and the development of Belgium as a state based on three pillars: the catho- lic, the socialist and the liberal one that were all three institutionalized. This structure meant that Belgium was rather a segregated country that was vertically integrated. In the sixties of last century, the pillar was confronted with a growing secularization of the population, which forced the leadership of the pillar to adapt the collective con- sciousness: the Catholic credo, values and norms were replaced by so-called typical values of the Gospel integrated in what is called a Socio-Cultural Christianity. Under the impact of the changing economic situation, the politicization of the Flemish ques- tion and the emergence of Ecologist parties, the Christian pillar had to adapt its serv- ices and is now based on clienteles rather than members. Only in the Flemish part of Belgium is it still an institutionalized pillar. Key words: Collective Consciousness, Pillarization; Pillar; Institutionalized Pillar, Solidarity: Mechanical and Organic Solidarity,Vertical pluralism, Secularization. The concept of ‘pillar’ and the process of ‘pillarization’ are translations of the Dutch terms zuil and zuilvorming to describe the special structure of vertical pluralism typical of Dutch society.

  • Framing of Corporate Crises in Dutch Newspaper Articles
    Framing of corporate crises in Dutch newspaper articles A corpus study on crisis response strategies, quotation, and metaphorical frames T.J.A. Haak Radboud University Date of issue: 20 December 2019 Supervisor: Dr. W.G. Reijnierse Second Assessor: Dr. U. Nederstigt Program: MA International Business Communication Framing of corporate crises in Dutch media Abstract Research topic - The purpose of this study was to find answers to how corporate crises are framed in Dutch media. A journalist frames a crisis by making choices about information, quotation, and language. This thesis focusses on these aspects by analysing what crisis response strategies can be found, and how this information is reported by the journalist using quotation and metaphor. Hypotheses and research – It was expected that a company’s cultural background would influence the crisis response strategy that is reported in the newspapers. The hypotheses stated that companies originating from countries with an individualistic culture appear in newspapers more often with a diminish strategy and less often with a no response or rebuild strategy than companies originating from countries with a collectivistic culture. The denial strategy was expected to appear equally frequent. Furthermore, it was studied whether a link exists between these crisis response strategies and the occurrence of quotes and metaphors within Dutch newspaper articles. Method – These topics were studied using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. A corpus of Dutch newspaper articles (N = 606) covering corporate crises was analysed. Findings – No significant relation was found between the reported crisis response strategies and companies’ cultural backgrounds (individualistic or collectivistic). A relationship was found between the reported crisis response strategy and (in)direct quotation of the company in crisis.
