I know this was a while back, but some time ago I interviewed journalist and academic Mercedes Bunz about new media journalism and other new media issues. Do me a favor, though: go read part one and part two on the Impakt festival blog.

As Impakt gets closer and closer, here’s another post I wrote for their blog. It’s about the geo-tagging frenzy, its controversial aspects, and why the whole privacy scare is not really that big a deal. Read it here.

I’ve been keeping you posted about my regular contributions to the Impakt blog, but now you get to take a peek at some of the content I’ve been producing for the festival’s newspaper. The essays are extended versions of this and this blog posts respectively, but one of them has been turned into a nice infographic (the credit goes to the designers who made it). Oh, by the way, everything has been translated to Dutch, so there’s no reading it unless you’re fluent in Nederlands. It looks good though.

Last Saturday I went to Den Haag to check out Todaysart festival, which – despite the initial feeling of chaos and sloppiness – left me with a pretty good impression. Today my prompt report has been published on the Impakt blog, focusing on urban exploration as a reclamation of the right to the city. Check it out here.

I know Jelle Kamsma because we studied together at UvA, plus we’re friends. So, after he got a job at NU.nl as a data journalist – and I started blogging for Impakt – an interview about what he’s doing was around the corner. Read the whole article here,it’s quite juicy.

I’m still writing for the Impakt blog, the core topic being The Right to Know. This week’s contribution is focused on the transparency of revolutionary networks and how this becomes an ambiguous and potentially dangerous aspect of their use. Read the whole thing here.
