During the GikII conference in Vienna on Friday September 14th 2018, Nadine van der Laan presented her Master Thesis supervised by dr. Dumitrica. The GikII conference tackles all aspects of law, technology, and popular culture in a fun way. During this conference Nadine discussed the differences in Dutch versus American newspapers in the coverage of the #MeToo movement.
Nadine showed in her presentation that there are differences between the Dutch and American newspapers, when it comes to the coverage of the #MeToo movement, on three levels. First of all the longevity of the news coverage differs between the two countries. The marginalization of voices in the use of sources differs. Lastly, the placing blame differs between the coverage of the two countries.
