    Open AccessLotte Vermeire, Wendy Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEMedia and Communication2025

    As society increasingly recognises the value of data, proficiency in using and understanding data has become crucial. However, there is no universal consensus on the definition of data literacy. Therefore, this study provides the first extensive, mixed methods scoping review of the topical evolution of data literacy within social and educational sciences from 2011 to 2023. By identifying key themes and research trends, this review offers a compre…

  • Unveiling environmental identities

    Open AccessIbe Delvaux, Wendy Van Den BroeckARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2024

    To address environmental issues, it is important to strengthen individuals' environmental self-identities. This research explored how environmental non-profit organizations (NPOs) use and perceive communication interventions (social norms, perceived environmental responsibility, and social comparison feedback) that could make the environmental social - and self-identities of their community salient. This is achieved by combining a quantitative co…

  • Digital Futures

    Open AccessLotte Vermeire, Wendy Van Den BroeckARTICLEMedia and Communication2024

    This article examines inclusivity in digital youth work initiatives which use and discuss media and technology. The research focusses on initiatives aimed at socially vulnerable youth. Socially vulnerable and digitally excluded youth face educational inequalities due to limited resources, such as inadequate hardware or lack of academic support at home (Correa et al., 2020; Faure et al., 2022; Garmendia & Karrera, 2019). Youth work as non-formal l…

    European General Data Protection Regulation requires organisations to request the data subject’s consent for personal data processing. Data controllers must be able to demonstrate valid consent was obtained (‘transparency’). Media often struggle to meet GDPR requirements in practice. We identified several issues with existing consent procedures amongst which a need for trustworthy approaches to record and track consent. In this article, we evalua…

  • Effects of digital mediation and familiarity in online video interviews between peers

    Open AccessIne Van Zeeland, Wendy Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEMethodological Innovations2021Cited by: 2References: 17

    In times of social distancing, we need to adapt some of our research methods. Methodologies in field research can be partly replaced by a combination of online methods, which will often include online interviews. Technologically, there are few limitations to conducting interviews online, but there are side effects to digital mediation: privacy related concerns, technology hiccups, and physical distance may be barriers to disclosure for the interv…

  • Channel Choice Determinants of (Digital) Government Communication

    Open AccessWillemien Laenens, Wendy Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEMedia and Communication2018

    Governments at all levels believe the digitisation of their services and increased interaction with citizens will bring significant advantages in terms of transparency, creation of public value, and improvement of government performance (Al-Hujran, Al-Debei, Chatfield, & Migdadi, 2015). Nonetheless, this evolution towards more digital services and communication by governments raises questions in terms of inclusivity and accessibility. We conducte…

  • From Era of Plenty to Era of Overflow

    Open AccessJonas De Meulenaere, Wendy Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEJournal of Communication Inquiry2012References: 6

    This article focuses on how viewers decide what to watch in a context of almost infinite video content availability and a lasting expansion of the process of digitization. We investigate to what extent viewers apply an active search process toward video content. Therefore we applied a focus group methodology. Seven focus group sessions were conducted, totaling 47 participants. We found that this process is guided by a combination of contextual, c…

  • Domesticating New Media

    Wendy Van Den Broeck, Bram Lievens et al.CHAPTERMobile technologies2009

    This chapter focuses on how the newspaper as a medium is in the middle of a transition from an analogue “mobile” medium to a digital mobile medium. The newspaper has in fact always been a “mobile” medium, in the sense that readers could take this news medium with them on public transport, in the café, in the waiting room, or on other public places. In the first phase of digitization the newspaper got fixed to a desktop computer or at best to a la…
