Cultuurconnect, a Flemish cultural organization that promotes digital innovation in local libraries and cultural venues, is aiming to develop a strategy to promote public values online. Edith LeBlanc from Cultuurconnect shared how the organization plans to participate in a workshop called ‘The Brainwash’, offered by PublicSpaces, to reflect on their use of software and services and their impact on their target audience, employees, and society. The goal is to establish a shared value framework for public values like data, ethics, and privacy, to meet the challenges of the digital transformation of the cultural sector.

The Librecast project, funded by the European Cultural Foundation, showcases several case studies of Pan-European sovereign media distribution, away from big tech, and the importance of more sovereignty in media systems. BNNVARA, a public broadcasting organization in the Netherlands, went through 'The Digital Powerwash', a methodology that helps organizations examine and improve the digital tools they use. 'The Digital Powerwash' could be used as an objective evaluation test for organizations to make more informed decisions about how to organize their digital infrastructure.

In "A peek in the kitchen of…" series, we highlight an organization that went through the Digital Powerwash. We sat down with Onno Bruins from VPRO, who participated in the Powerwash. The aim is to provide insights into how aligned an organization's digital environment is with public values. After the process, VPRO replaced some digital tools with alternatives and decided not to store unencrypted data with US companies. The final scores of all assessed tools were published on their website to be transparent.

In our Librecast project, funded by the European Cultural Foundation, we showcase a series of Pan-European case studies about sovereign media distribution, away from big tech.

This time: Beabee, an open source platform that aims to help smaller news organizations connect with their audience and turn them into engaged communities.

Personalisation is no longer reserved for commercial parties like Spotify and Netflix. For the last few years public services have hopped on this trend, but the BBC is now taking the lead by creating a central open-source recommendation and data control service called My PDS.
We have become increasingly dependent on big tech for our media production and distribution in Europe. This means big tech companies can dictate the rules of the game. And these rules are often commercial in nature, instead of serving the… Verder lezen →
