Newspaper coverage of the Dutch nitrogen debate
Uncovering differences in framing and actor portrayal
In May 2019 the Dutch permit system for nitrogen deposition was taken down for not abiding by EU legislation, which resulted in a large debate surrounding nature conservation. I researched the manner in which various newspapers portray this debate to their respective readers, in order to create a better understanding of the communicational field between sustainability sciences and the public. To do this, 160 articles from four national daily newspapers were analyzed for their usage of frames and portrayal of actors. The articles reflected no differences in usage of frames, however, actor portrayal varied significantly between newspapers: environmental experts appeared more often in De Volkskrant, there seemed to be a negative relationship between the number of portrayed farmers and construction workers, and, popular newspaper De Telegraaf showed more signs of partisanship than other newspapers. Conclusively, I made some suggestions to environmental researchers for future environmental debates.

We were commissioned to support the beach pavilions at Scheveningen in aligning themselves with the climate goals of the Haags Klimaatpact. We decided to focus on collaborative measures that they could take to make better use of energy, materials and water. We used the perspective we have developed in the last year from Industrial Ecology to develop three collaborative solutions and multiple other recommendations for the beach pavilions.
