Dialogic evaluated, on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Directorate of Literature, Media and Libraries), the temporary stimulation scheme for press innovation. This scheme arises from an advice given by the Temporary Commission on Innovation and the Future of the Press (informally known as the Brinkman commission) to promote innovation in the press and journalism. The scheme subsidizes innovative projects focused on journalistic products, services, or practices. This includes news gathering, news analysis, and opinion formation on current societal issues, also serving the purpose of political opinion shaping. An amount of 8 million euros is available for the scheme.
The evaluation focuses on the first three rounds of projects initiated since 2010. It mainly aims to provide an initial assessment of the effectiveness of the scheme. The Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament should be informed about this by the end of this year (2013). For more information and the publication, visit the project page on our website.
