Pluralisme en Vlaamse nieuwsmedia : de (hete) aardappel van de toekomst ; Pluralism and Flemish news media : the (hot) potato of the future

Abstract: A critical discourse analysis of the reporting on a direct action against a field trial of genetically modified potatoes by two Flemish quality newspapers and one alternative online news site not only points out that the level of ideological pluralism in media is dependent on the social issue in question, but also allows to draw conclusions on the potential boundaries of social debate in a commercial newspaper landscape.
