Connected Enemies? Programming Transfer between East and West During the Cold War and the Example of East German Television
No full textThe article analyzes the international transfer of television programming during the Cold War as exemplified by East German television. The study focuses on the structures of imports of foreign content and on the feedback processes in cultural policy during the continuation of such imports.

Persistente identifiers: Identificatiemechanismes in het digitale tijdperk
Get PDFDe afgelopen jaren verschillende organisaties geweest die zich hebben bezig gehouden met het ontwikkelen van een systeem voor zogenaamde persistente identifiers. Deze identifiers zijn speciaal gericht op het uniek identificeren van objecten op het web en bestemd voor het permanent doorverwijzen naar digitale representaties van objecten, of metadata hiervan, zonder afhankelijkheid van eventuele veranderingen aan onderliggende websites.
Echter, zoals het wel vaker gaat bij de ontwikkeling van technieken op internet is er uiteindelijk niet één gestandaardiseerde manier voor het beheer en het aanmaken van persistente identifiers ontwikkeld, maar is er een veelheid aan mechanismes ontstaan met gedeeltelijk verschillende en gedeeltelijk overlappende functionaliteit. Maar er is wel een aantal eigenschappen te benoemen dat kenmerkend is voor de meeste implementaties van persistente identifiers.
In dit artikel zal eerst kort geschetst worden welke vormen van identificatie en localisering gangbaar zijn op het web. Vervolgens zal beschreven worden welke voordelen persistente identifiers kunnen bieden en wat de hun kenmerkende eigenschappen zijn. Tenslotte zal het gebruik van persistente identifiers aan de hand van een usecase nader beschouwd worden en zal bekeken worden welke zaken nog te verbeteren zijn aan de techniek
Een malcontent in mediageschiedenis: Jan Blokker (1927-2010)
No full textAn initial attempt to give an outline of the life of the journalist Jan Blokker reveals his significance for media history in two respects: not only as a media historian but also as an actor in media history.

Furthermore, his strong views about politics and media played a decisive role in his historical production.Far more important, however, is Blokker’s role as an actor in media history. As a journalist, formally a manager and informally an encourager and source of inspiration,he profoundly influenced the character and conduct of a generation of newspaperand television producers. In particular his work for the newspapers Algemeen Handelsblad and de Volkskrant, and for the broadcasting company vpro had a great influence on the cultural-political changes that have taken place in The Netherlands since the 1960s. Whatever he did, Blokker proved to have a progressive liberal view of contemporary culture, which cannot be understood without having experienced and known about the past

Great Escapes from the Past: Memory and Identity in European Transnational Television News

This article analyses televisual narratives of the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, turning the analytical spotlight on two of Europe’s largest news broadcasters: BBC World News and Euronews. The article focuses on how Europe is remembered in the news, but also how references to the past are used to explain what Europe is today and what it might look like in the future

While the booming field of production studies has been shining a light on the work processes and the personnel in production spaces, there is still a lot to be learnt about the ‘hidden’ professions of television.
