A big research project is 'Cultural history of media platforms'. Bringing together the best specialists on (media) history, the project aims to produce a coherent set of studies about the history of Dutch media platforms in international context. Four editions are in preparation: newspaper (published in spring 2019), radio (fall 2019), television (fall 2021) and magazine (2022). The project is a cooperation of UoG, UoA Netherlands Institute for Sound and Image, Dutch Royal Library and publisher Boom Amsterdam.

Since 2014 a research project is running on the historical development of the complex relation of media and politics on basis of digital media sources of Royal Library, It is funded by the NL eScience Center in Amsterdam. For this project I worked as a research fellow at the Dutch Institute of Advanced Studies NIAS.
