Research into the difference between image and reality. Media serve as a guide to get a grip on reality. But to what extent are they a reliable guide? How is public opinion formed? And what influence does this have on the actions of administrators, journalists and citizens?

E1The character assassination
May 21, 2023
The true crime genre seems more popular than ever. Journalists and program makers are increasingly taking the role of detective and judge. But what risks are they taking with this? And what is the impact of unproven suspicion? Isn't that character assassination? The flip side of true crime in Argos Medialogica.

E2Truth fighters or conspiracy theorists?
May 28, 2023
Alternative media are on the rise. Online newspapers such as De Andere Krant and video channels such as Blckbx, Café Weltschmerz and the Red Pill Journal tell stories that, according to them, are not told in the mainstream media. About corona, sinister companies and an evil elite. These new media are being researched. Who is behind it and how are they financed? What conspiracies are they spreading and how are the judiciary and secret services trying to get a grip on them? A story about sedition, anti-Semitism, multimillionaires and MPs.

E3Down in the picture
Jun 4, 2023
Upside Down, SynDROOM, Down the Road: these are just a few of the many TV programs about people with Down. According to critics, these programs have a misleading effect, they give society an overly positive image of the syndrome. This would not only have consequences for people with Down and those close to them, but also for people who are pregnant and have to make a decision about prenatal testing. It also turned out that not only TV programs try to determine the image of Down, but that there are even more forces at work. To whom his latest influence applies? Which interests play a role? And what are the consequences?

E4Black bars and white coats
Dec 8, 2023
Intelligence services AIVD and MIVD will have more options to tap internet traffic. While the 'Towing Act' had previously caused a stir, the new intelligence law was recently adopted quietly. What role did the secret services' communication strategy play in this? A story about state secrets, interviews and white coats.

E5Kriebels in de onderbuik
Dec 15, 2023
Reconstruction of the media storm surrounding the sexual and relationship education of children. This year, during the national theme week 'Spring Fever Week', the image is created that sex education in primary schools is masculine for children. A commotion arises that is extensively discussed in newspapers, online and on television. How could emotions suddenly rise so high?

E6In de ban van Rusland
Dec 22, 2023
While the world is looking away, Russia's influence on the African continent is rapidly increasing. Social media is teeming with influencers spreading an anti-Western message. Russia is seen as an ideal ally by many African countries. The continent is increasingly becoming a playing field for propaganda and disinformation. How could this happen and what does it mean for us?
Research into the difference between image and reality. Media serve as a guide to get a grip on reality. But to what extent are they a reliable guide? How is public opinion formed? What influence does this have on the actions of administrators, journalists and citizens?

E1Argos Medialogica ontleedt: Het beeld van de masculiene man
Jan 9, 2024
Men struggle with their position in society. As a man you are quickly seen as toxic or too masculine. Influencers like Andrew Tate have the solution: the man must become an alpha male again, especially now that the man has been consciously made weak and docile. But what consequences does this image have? And why are these ideas so popular among young people?

E2Argos Medialogica ontleedt: De aanval op dragqueen story hour
Jan 9, 2024
In April this year, there was a demonstration against a drag queen story hour in Rotterdam, where children are read to by a drag queen. The reading hours and the LGBTIQ+ community have been under fire for some time, including from radical right-wing politicians and activists. According to researchers, there is a conscious strategy behind these actions: what does this mean and what are the consequences?

E3Argos Medialogica ontleedt: Waarom we het over mannen moeten hebben
Jan 9, 2024
In his book Of Boys and Men, British-American sociologist Richard Reeves investigates why many men struggle with themselves and their role in society and what we can do about it. What is the danger if the existing problems in men are ignored? And what does this mean for the rights of women and the LGBTIQ+ community?

E4Milder gestemd
Mar 17, 2024
What role did the media play in Geert Wilders' election win? The PVV's victory in the last parliamentary elections came as a surprise to many, including the press. How is that possible?

Frank Hendrickx (de Volkskrant) and Maurice de Hond (Peil.nl) will speak.

E5Regenbooghysterie
Apr 28, 2024
The rainbow community is under fire from conservative and radical corners. According to politicians and activists, educating about gender indoctrination and reading to children by drag queens is dangerous. Medialogic examines the force behind these frames and shows how politicians and activists worldwide use anti-gender rhetoric for their own gain, which also puts LGBTIQ+ rights under pressure in the Netherlands.

E6De banden van Bernhard
Jun 16, 2024
There was a big fuss last year when it became known that Prince Bernhard's NSDAP membership card had been found in his own archives. But how new was the revelation really? Bernhard has always denied being a member of the NSDAP, and yet historians have previously convincingly demonstrated his ties to Hitler's Nazi party. Why is it that Prince Bernhard's now well-known past keeps leading to new headlines? Media logic about how media, historians, institutions, the Royal Family and politicians have been struggling with Prince Bernhard's Nazi past for years.

E7Het nieuwe rookgordijn
Nov 27, 2024
Alternatives to cigarettes, such as vaping and snus, are becoming increasingly popular.

How did the media attention, political imaging and polarized debate develop around the pro-Palestine student protests in Amsterdam? A look back with the key players, such as Mayor Halsema, the chief public prosecutor, the rector and students of the UvA.

E9Vecht- en sterfbereid
Dec 29, 2024
The threat of war is back in Europe and so Defense is expanding, by up to 9,000 people per year. How do you find new recruits for the army, and what images are used to entice them - mainly teenagers - to sign? Medialogica delves into the world of marketing our armed forces.

E1De grenzen van MeToo
Jun 15, 2025
When the MeToo movement began in 2017, it led to a wave of attention for sexually transgressive behavior. Experiences were shared more and more often. Various stories appeared in the media and education was also reported. For example, the rector magnificus of Radboud University was said to have been guilty of sexual harassment. Initially, the shock was great, but doubts about the seriousness of the allegations and the accuracy of the reporting soon followed. How can the media report carefully on such sensitive issues? And what are the consequences of publicity for victims and the accused?

E2Ongewenst verklaard
Jul 6, 2025
In February 2025, an uproar arose over the Ramadan Expo in Utrecht, to which controversial Islamic preachers from abroad had been invited. Minister Faber and Van Weel wanted to deny the preachers entry to the Netherlands but were overruled by the court. An online campaign against the judge and his family ensued, after which the court filed a complaint of doxing. The issue led to tensions between politicians and the judiciary and raised questions about freedom of expression and the role of the media. A reconstruction of a controversy that demonstrates the fragility of the rule of law, including in the Netherlands.

E3Groene lobby, grote ophef
Jul 20, 2025
In January, De Telegraaf led with a story about an alleged lobbying scandal in Brussels: the European Commission was allegedly paying environmental organizations to influence MEPs. Politicians reacted with outrage, and the news spread throughout Europe. Journalists and the European Commission largely debunked the story, but MEPs continued to use it to make their case. NGOs in Brussels see this as a pattern of political attacks, similar to what previously occurred in Poland, Hungary, and under Trump.
