What's the environmental impact of leaving your tent behind at a music festival? According to KarTent, 1 in 4 tents are left after the festival in the Netherlands alone! How can the festival work with fans to properly communicate this damage and prevent the waste? KarTent is a sustainable solutions company based out of Amsterdam. Their name means cardboard tent because their original product was exactly that! After witnessing the waste left on music festival campgrounds, founders Jan and Wout wanted to develop a solution.

Mediahuis onboards five (5!) new titles: all Dutch regional titles now live on the group news platform While you were reading the morning news and having breakfast yesterday, tens of people were already onboarding title after title in Amsterdam. It is the first time the TPS and business teams onboarded that many titles in a single day. Besides IJmuider Courant, Noordhollands Dagblad, De Gooi- en Eemlander, and Haarlems Dagblad made the switch to the new technologies. Exactly one week ago, Leidsch Dagblad led the way with a nearly flawless go-live. Mediahuis CUE Platform 2.0 The setup for the regional titles in CUE is a genuine version 2.0. That’s mainly because there are now a lot more options available for presenting news stories on the mobile news site and app. The richness in storyblocks, elements and functionalities is also good news for all other titles that come after the brands in the Netherlands: the current set-up counts as the blueprint for all regional brands in the Mediahuis Group. For CUE Print, which was already in use in the Netherlands, new workflows were set up, including automatic channel copies from digital articles. Also, a lot of effort was put in digital-first publishing. In order to do that efficiently, print first publishing is possible as well. Now that the work in Amsterdam is almost finished, for now, the Green teams are pointing their arrows south once again. De Limburger and Het Belang van Limburg are on our guest list before the end of the year. Big thanks to all the colleagues in #Mediahuis (Sharon Vande Velde, Helen Boyle, Evert Arnould, Quinten Van Kerrebroeck, Wim Matthys, Bart Dhaenens, Geoffrey Samper, Nick Rabaey , robert joosten, Nandor Huszar, Niko Juncker, Martijn Dierckx, Koen Van den Broeck Nick Falkenberg and many more), #November Five (Caro Knaepen, Thomas Van Sundert, Jens Reynders, Davy Hubrecht, Jules Vervaeke, Julieta F., Yannis De Cleene) and #StiboDX (Johannes Roeßler, C. Samuel Xavier, Paul Debashis) involved for the hard work and the nice editorial colleagues in Amsterdam (Melle Drenthe, GerBen van 't Hek, Danny Aloserij, Kelly van Hal, Corine de Vries, Peter Diertens, Melvin Engwerda ) for the nice collaboration. 💪🙏🙏🙏 https://lnkd.in/es-dtpBs https://lnkd.in/eei8TevR https://lnkd.in/ehxEgMvu https://lnkd.in/eSKP-7UM https://lnkd.in/efin6EMB

Record numbers for Talpa Studios The Alliance on SBS6 In The Alliance, strategy, teamwork, friendship and betrayal turn out to be a winning combination. Since its launch on SBS6 in the Netherlands in October 2023, the hit reality show has consistently engaged a large and loyal daily audience, maintaining strong viewership even beyond its 100th episode. It has achieved an impressive average market share of 13% in the key 25-59 demographic (including delayed viewing). This confirms its status as the highest-rated show in the 7:30 PM prime time slot since 2017. Due to its outstanding performance, SBS6 has decided to extend the series, committing to an additional series for an indefinite period. On The Alliance, 16 participants form 4 teams at the beginning of each month. They will compete against each other for a grand prize of 100.000 euros. Through physical and knowledge-based games, secret missions and manipulative tactics, the teams battle each other in order to win points and get to the top position in the rankings. The climax of The Alliance is the Knockout phase, where teams compete until only one winning team remains. This team will play the finale - and this is where the battle for the 100.000 euros really kicks off. While the four team members started as allies, they are now each other's enemies because only one participant can go home with the big cash prize! As one winner basks in glory, a member from the underperforming team faces the harsh reality of elimination. Both participants are replaced, the teams reformed, the scores reset to zero. Every new month brings new alliances, rivalries and opportunities - all with 100,000 euros at stake. #debondgenoten #theallience #mip

Another great guide by the Center for Music Ecosystems on how music can help eradicate poverty and create sustainable growth. In most countries, music is not seen as an economic force. Of course, it's everywhere and functions as the background of our daily lives, but it is not earning the revenues it could be. Mexico has an amazing paying audience, great artists, and 3 of the 5 most successful music festivals in the world. How can we take full advantage of its benefits?

Recently, I've been working on the SFX and foley for a series with the great Poul Sven de Haan, M.Sc., from Faboem. We needed to import some markers from Nuendo to Pro Tools. We tried the usual AAF and OMF workflows, but we couldn't get them to work. So, I found it to be a good excuse to finally get hands-on with the "not-so-new" Scripting SDK from Pro Tools. As a result, I implemented my first small app that generates markers in Pro Tools from a CSV file, which can be easily exported from Nuendo. I made a short video demonstrating the tool's functionality. I hope you like it! If you need personalized tools to speed up your workflows, just let me know, and I'll be more than happy to help! #protoolssdk #protools #protoolsscripting #audiotools #postproductiontools #nuendotools #importmarkerstoprotools #audiopostproduction #nuendotoprotools

🎁 Working with the highly motivated and creative people at OPEN Rotterdam has been such a joy over the last couple of years; this year I can even proudly call myself their mentor/coach. 🖌 Every time I visit the newsroom, I find myself impressed and inspired by the amount of work the (very) compact editorial staff gets done, reporting on all the different sides of daily life in Rotterdam. I am amazed by the way they combine critical and independent reporting with a very humane and self-evidently inclusive approach to urban journalism. 1️⃣ One of the projects that this local public medium has been running for a while, is the "City District Newsroom". Each month, Sascha Meijer and his team, pick a new part of town. They use a somewhat standardized approach: it always starts with talking to key figures in the neighbourhood, while roaming the streets of Kralingen, Rozenburg or Feijenoord. The goal is not to immediately interview anyone they meet, but to grow a sense of place, pressing local matters and gaining trust of the local communities. ↗ The impact might not be immediately visible in clicks or numbers of articles/videos published, but I think it appears on a much deeper level: a solutions journalism based approach to local reporting, aimed at (re)building trust and growing pluralistic networks. 🎧 In this podcast by the Stimuleringsfonds voor de Journalistiek , Sascha talks about the project and its approach. For any Dutch-speaking local journalism-fanatic: this is a big recommendation.

I've been frustrated for a very long time... Gender inequality starts at the very basic human needs, and I think to deconstruct patriarchy, we need to start from the roots. In outdoor venues, approximately 90% of women find themselves queuing up to squat to pee. If women also squat to pee, why are there no urinals designed to accommodate women already? Turns out there is one, yet I have never seen it once in City of Amsterdam - supposedly where one of the world's biggest festival industry is at.  As I found myself more and more working in events and productions, I took on the responsibility of this piss revolution. Lapee is a urinal for womxn or anyone who squats to pee. Peeing is a basic human need, yet for too long, it's been weaponised to exclude and oppress marginalised communities. I felt the need to do something about it in a smaller and local scale for my community to experiment and introduce innovation in Amsterdam. Amsterdam's public toilet situation is not just a matter of inconvenience; it's a glaring symbol of systemic inequality. The city has 35 public urinals for men and only 3 public toilets for women. While the urinals for men are accessible 24/7 and free, only one of the public toilets for women fit in that category within the ring of Amsterdam. From the Victorian era to the present day, public facilities have been designed with little regard for anyone who doesn't fit the cisgender, male norm. I think it's time we reclaim our right to pee in peace. For the new community playground we are opening for this season together with Kraft und Licht, Der Hintergarten I'm starting a fundraiser to have a female urinal. By contributing, you can help make Amsterdam a more inclusive city for everyone & create a space where everyone can meet their basic needs - one urinal at a time! https://lnkd.in/dRGUZMVf

😶 Breaking news: huge European film merger! European powerhouse Mediawan has acquired Munich based Leonine, a leading production and distribution group active in German-speaking markets. With the acquisition of Leonine, Mediawan will boast a portfolio of 85 labels, a catalogue spanning 30,000 hours of premium content and revenues exceeding €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion). Mediawan‘s worth is now believed to be in the $2-billion range. The deal is an all-stock transaction; both companies have the same shareholder, the U.S. private equity fund KKR. Mediawan now has a significant footprint in all major European markets, including German-speaking territories which represent the continent’s second largest TV market. The pact positions Mediawan as one of the world’s biggest super indies with a large proportion of scripted business across prestige series and movies. Mediawan now spans 13 countries including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Benelux and the U.K. in Europe, alongside operations in Africa, Asia and the U.S.
