Electronic Newsarchive 2018.

The Electronic News Archive ("Elektronisch Nieuwsachief" ENA – www.nieuwsarchief.be) is a digital database that contains all the 7 pm news broadcasts of public broadcaster Eén (VRT) and commercial broadcaster VTM, the two largest Flemish broadcasters, starting in 2003 up to the present. All news broadcasts are being coded: the news items are viewed in detail and analyzed. The ENA is an initiative of the Antwerp University, with Stefaan Walgrave as a promotor. From January 2012 until January 2016 the ENA was part of the Flemish 'Steunpunt Media', a collaboration between the four Flemish universities, financed by the Flemish government. Since the beginning of 2016 the ENA in the Antwerp University is financed by the Flemish minister for Media. A first goal of the ENA is to analyze news content and report the findings to the Flemish government or use them in scientific publications. A second goal is to provide the data to the broader scientific community.
