How Vlaams Belang Radicalises in the Shadows

De media als ongewilde handlanger van Trump II?
De tweede ambtstermijn van Trump is allerminst business as usual en vereist dan ook een aangepaste journalistieke aanpak.

Towards a New Paradigm on Post-truth
This book reconceptualises the idea of “post-truth”. It does not limit the domain of post-truth to the production factories of fake news. Drawing on examples such as Trump, War on Terror, anti-vaccina...
📚📣 NEW BOOK ALERT!
In a pivotal election year, marked by populist leaders and "post-truth" politics, how can we make sense of it all? How does it influence voters and democracy?
My latest book explores these critical questions.

En de winnaar van de lokale verkiezingen is... dan toch Tom Van Grieken
Na Ninove en Ranst volgen Brecht en Izegem. Vlaanderen maakt de lokale doorbraak van uiterst rechts mee. Tom Van Grieken heeft zijn promomateriaal beet.
Vandaag duiding in De Morgen over het doorbreken van het cordon sanitaire in Brecht & Izegem (naast de absolute meerderheid in Ninove, de coalitie in Ranst). Nationaal staat het cordon nog stevig, lokaal is meer mogelijk, en dat zal Van Grieken extra in de verf zetten www.demorgen.be/politiek/en-...
