TINA in practice

Just as many industries, the news industry has been disrupted by fast developments in the online world. The decline in print, the rise of ad-blocking technology, fake news, and the need for new revenue streams are just some of the challenges that the news industry is currently facing. Our research addresses these challenges. We aim to make every study contribute to both academia and practice. If you have any thoughts, questions, insights or challenges that you want to share with us, please send us a message!

Collaborations

We have previously collaborated with:

  • HLN.be
  • De Telegraaf
  • NU.nl
  • De Raad voor de Reclame
  • Mediahuis

These collaborations involved a/b-testing on news websites, usability testing, contributing to legislation, and sharing and analyzing data. We are not being funded by commercial organizations. Our researchers are being funded by the FWO and the University of Antwerp.
