Het antwoord is: het zou nee moe- ten zijn, en het had ook nee kunnen zijn. Het is een petite histoire van de laat-maar-lopen mentaliteit die al jaren in de mode is. Dit- maal betreft het een mediaonderwerp. In dit rapport kunt u lezen hoe Kamerleden attentie vroegen voor het onderwerp, hoe de paarse regering gedoogde en hoe omroepen in dit vacuüm vol- ledig hun gang gingen-en gaan. En de reactie van de burger op het verschijnsel ‘inbelspel’.

  • The Influence of Personal Characteristics and Reference Dependence in Risky Decision-Making for a High-Stakes Game Show
    Name: Robin Rietveldt Student Number: 329975 Date: 27/06/2012 The influence of personal characteristics and reference dependence in risky decision-making for a high-stakes game show By Robin Rietveldt Erasmus University, Erasmus School of Economics _____________________________________________________________________ Abstract This paper takes a look at the decision-making of contestants in the game show “De Postcode Loterij Miljoenenjacht”, the format that is also known as “Deal or No Deal” in countries outside The Netherlands. I have sampled 41 episodes looking for differences in decision-making caused by gender and age. No significant effects were found but this might be related to the fact that the semi final has characteristics of a “selection round”. In addition I looked for signs of reference dependence in the data. The data showed “Winners” and “Losers” were less likely to deal compared to their “Neutral” counterparts. This proves that the course of the game is relevant to what decision a contestant will make at the end of the round. My theory for “Winners” not only includes effects of reference dependence but also the overvaluation of small probabilities. Keywords Decision making under risk; game show; risk preferences; risk aversion; prospect theory; deal or no deal _____________________________________________________________________ Introduction If I look back on the three years of economics education and have to name one core concept of the program that was of most importance it would be decision-making. Whether it was deciding what investment to pursue, what product to buy in the market or how to decide in games according to game theory. But knowing how to optimally decide, or decide rationally, isn’t everything.

Mijn passie voor de vechtsport is onder andere ontstaan in To- kio. Ik maakte toen in december 2005 voor Omroep Flevoland een reportage over de K-1 GP. Remy Bonjasky, waarmee ik een onder- deel van het zondagse sportprogramma van de omroep maakte, toen al tweevoudig K1 GP kampioen, zou dat nu voor de derde keer kunnen worden. Dat vond de omroep voldoende aanleiding om me naar het Verre Oosten te sturen. In Tokio raakte ik gefascineerd door de efficiëntie waarmee tientallen Japanners, glimlachend en buigend, als perfecte radartjes in een groot geheel het belangrijkste Kickboks-toernooi van het jaar in goede banen leidden.

  • British Schools Film Festival #5
    BRITISH SCHOOLS FILM FESTIVAL #5 STUDY GUIDE FOR THE FILM SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE UK 2008, directed by Danny Boyle Synopsis The film starts with a young man, Jamal Malik, being interrogated and tortured by the Mumbai police. He is accused of fraud after having reached the last round of the popular TV show “Who wants to be a millionaire?” How can an uneducated young man from the Dharavi slum in Mumbai succeed in a quiz show, when even university professors failed? “I knew the answers”, says Jamal, and no, he is not a genius. During his interrogation Jamal recounts, through flashbacks, the circumstances that led him to identifying the answers correctly. The story he tells is the story of his life. Jamal grew up as a street kid in the Dharavi slum of Mumbai. His earliest memories are of kids playing on Mumbai’s streets and being chased by the police. Later he remembers the day when his brother Salim locked him in the outhouse while Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan was visiting Dharavi. In order to get himself out and ask the famous actor for an autograph, Jamal jumps into the stinking sewer. When Hindi and Muslims clash violently in the Bombay riots, Jamals mother is killed and Jamal and his brother Salim have to flee the city. During their escape they meet the “third musketeer”, Latika, a young girl who is alone on the streets as well. The children stick together and later fall into the hands of Maman, a ruthless gangster who picks up orphans and sends them to beg in the street.

Preface It is my pleasure to present to you ‘The End’ chapter of my student life: my Master thesis for the Msc. in Business Administration. During this process I have learned a lot. I have learned a lot about conducting research and my interest in science is really fuelled. I became enthusiastic about statistics. Yes, I was the one liking a Facebook page during my very first year at the University of Amsterdam stating: ‘I hate SPSS’ and now I’m searching for one that states ‘I like SPSS’. But more importantly, I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned to balance things. A word I heard before but never really understood.

  • De Sesamstraatcrisis Een Thematische Analyse Van Het Debat Rondom De Herprogrammering Van SESAMSTRAAT
    De Sesamstraatcrisis Een thematische analyse van het debat rondom de herprogrammering van SESAMSTRAAT Maja van Eijndthoven 4099826 BA Eindwerkstuk Televisie ME3V15026 Media en Cultuur: Televisiewetenschap Begeleid door H. Surma Blok 2, collegejaar 2015/2016 28 januari 2016 13722 woorden Chicago Manual of Style footnote Samenvatting In dit onderzoek wordt er gezocht naar antwoord op de vraag: Hoe geeft het debat rondom ‘de herprogrammering’ van SESAMSTRAAT vorm aan het genre kindertelevisie als culturele categorie? Dit onderzoek wordt gedaan aan de hand van Jason Mittells benadering van genre als culturele categorie waarbij hij stelt dat er binnen genreonderzoek gekeken moet worden naar de context waarbinnen het genre als culturele categorie opereert. Volgens Mittell moet genretheorie gaan over hoe generieke processen binnen culturele contexten opereren, hoe industrie en publiek genres construeren, en hoe genres zowel vloeibaar als samenhangend kunnen zijn. Tijdens het in kaart brengen van die context wordt duidelijk dat SESAME STREET gemaakt werd met een educatieve insteek, in het bijzonder om kinderen uit armere gezinnen voor te bereiden op de lagere school. In Nederland wordt er tijdens het produceren van SESAMSTRAAT meer belang gehecht aan de sociale en emotionele ontwikkeling van de jeugdige kijker. Vervolgens wordt in het theoretisch kader vanuit de hedendaagse televisiewetenschap en politiek geadviseerd aan de publieke omroep om met de tijd en haar publiek mee te gaan en in te spelen op veranderingen zoals vergrijzing en digitalisering. De publieke televisieomroep zou zich meer moeten ontwikkelen tot een publieke mediaomroep waarbij programma’s over verschillende platformen verdeeld zijn en er via narrowcasting ingespeeld kan worden op de wensen van specifieke doelgroepen.
