Media

Media relations in new democratic countries appear to be complicated, perhaps even more complicated than in "old" ones. The media landscape is often still based on previous non-democratic structures and the media representatives themselves are struggling to define their role.

What we can do for you is help you develop a media relations policy for your government organization. We can provide media training, improving your presentation and spokesman skills. Also, we involve journalists in order to define the role the media play in a democratic society.

Internet

Websites belong to the basic instruments to communicate with stakeholders, ranging from non-governmental organizations to journalists, from professionals to citizens.

Dutch government agencies and companies started to use the internet for public information purposes in the nineties. With trial and error, a lot of experience has been gained since then.
