News, ads, chats, and property rights over algorithms
In: Kleinnijenhuis , J 2018 , ' News, ads, chats, and property rights over algorithms ' , Media and Communication , vol. 6 , no. 3 , pp. 77-82 . https://doi.org/10.17645/mac.v6i3.1601
The success of tech firms rests on their ownership of the algorithms for operating new platforms for the interactions among five groups of stakeholders in the markets of news, ads, and chats: stakeholders from the spheres of politics, journalism, the citizenry, the tech firms themselves, and other firms. Recent regulations that touch on property rights such as the German Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz and the European Directive on Copyright in the Digital Market have turned ownership of algorithms into exclusive ownership. Thereby tech firms obtain also the right to censor and the exclusive right to micro-target clients for advertisers. Coase's theorem is used to discuss alternative allocations of property rights that could improve the quality of news, ads, and chats.

Veyor® is a trademark of Idea Works, Inc. It is a text analysis program that performs, either by itself or in combination with programs such as Qualrus® and Globalpoint®, not only word category counts, but also sentiment analysis. According to a newspaper article about a recent application to a campaign for the US Senate elections (Reed, 2010), the sentiment towards the candidates in blogs and newspapers as extracted by Globalpoint® predicted the outcome of the elections more accurately than a telephone survey. Candidates received positive or negative points based on what was being said about key issues in the race and were categorized under headings such as 'government,' 'economy,' 'personal' and subsets such as 'free market' and 'tax issues'.
Newspaper Complexity and the Knowledge Gap
In: European journal of communication, Band 6, Heft 4, S. 499-522
ISSN: 1460-3705
The knowledge gap hypothesis states that segments of the population with higher education acquire knowledge from the mass media at a faster rate than the lower educated segments. This article states that the faster learning rate of highly educated persons, which is claimed by knowledge gap theory, rests upon their greater capacity to process complex, compactly written newspapers. Content analysis data from The Netherlands in combination with data from national election studies in The Netherlands support this hypothesis. For the less educated, watching political news on television proves to be more efficient for acquiring political knowledge than reading political news in a newspaper. Conversely, for higher educated persons reading political news is more efficient, provided they opt for a compactly written newspaper with complex news.

Images of Cold War: Effects of Press Opinion on Public Opinion in the Netherlands
In: European journal of communication, Band 2, Heft 3, S. 311-336
ISSN: 1460-3705
Research from the Netherlands suggests a relationship between the newspapers one reads and the opinions one holds on international affairs. After several alternative explanations are assessed, two remain as most plausible: that images of the world conveyed by newspapers affect readers' views; or that readers' basic political attitudes account for both their newspaper choices and their images of the world. When translated into models for testing by LISREL, some support is given to the hypothesis of newspaper impact on readers' opinions by a content analysis of cold war images in a number of Dutch newspapers, combined with survey data on their readers' basic political attitudes and cold war opinions.

The Impact of the Explosion of EU News on Voter Choice in the 2014 EU Elections
In: Politics and governance, Band 4, Heft 1, S. 104-115
ISSN: 2183-2463
The European elections in 2014 were the first to be held after a long period in which EU-related news was prominent in the media. They were held after years of daily news about the euro crisis and after months of news about the popular uprising in the Ukraine against president Yanukovych, who had refused to sign the association agreement with the EU. This could have invited political parties to overcome the usual problem of low salience of EU issues by strongly profiling themselves on EU issues. Turnout at the 2014 EU elections, however, remained low, hinting that parties were unable to convert the attention for European issues into enthusiasm for their party at the European elections. This paper asks how vote choice was influenced by party campaigning on EU related issues. A news effects analysis based on a content analysis of Dutch newspapers and television, and on a panel survey among Dutch voters revealed that EU issues functioned as wedge issues: the more strongly parties were associated in the news with the euro crisis and the Ukraine, the less they succeeded in mobilizing voters.

News, Discussion, and Associative Issue Ownership: Instability at the Micro Level versus Stability at the Macro Level
In: The international journal of press, politics, Band 19, Heft 2, S. 226-245
ISSN: 1940-1620
Associative issue ownership refers to one of the prerequisites for representative democracy—public awareness of the issue priorities of competing political parties. This article addresses the question of how the instability of associative issue ownership at the micro level of individual voters, which could be due in part to election news and political discussion, adds up to the relative stability of associative issue ownership at the macro level. The data come from a panel survey and a content analysis of newspapers and television news bulletins in the 2010 Dutch Parliamentary Election Campaign. Cross-nested multilevel logistic regression models were applied to estimate the impact of political news and political discussion on different respondents for different parties and issues. The findings show how contagion, by traditional issue ownership associations, explains the relative stability at the macro level in spite of volatility at the micro level. Campaign news and political discussion increase the likelihood of contagion by traditional issue priorities of political parties, while also evoking change due to their convergence on the issues of the campaign, from which the parties that own these issues take advantage, among others the VVD and the PVV in the 2010 campaign.
