Participation, youngsters and public service media projects. Carte Blanche (VRT) and BNN University (NPO) Participation, youngsters and public service media projects. Carte Blanche (VRT) and BNN University (NPO) This article analyses whether and to what extent public broadcasters have been able to transpose concepts like interaction, co-creation and participation into day-to-day media service delivery. The article theoretically frames this discussion, first, by defining and operationalising these concepts, focusing mainly on participation, and, second, by analysing four emerging audience challenges. Subsequently, a comparative case study analysis is conducted. Included in the analysis are two PSM multiplatform projects targeted at youngsters: Carte Blanche (VRT, Flanders) and BNN University (NPO, the Netherlands). Findings are based on a qualitative document analysis, desk research and semi-structured interviews with both producers of and participants in these multi-platform projects.

The bioeconomy can support Europe’s transition to a low-carbon economy and help to meet key international, European and member state sustainability targets through the provision of bio-based products and energy derived from sustainably sourced biomass. A successful implementation of a bio-based economy in Europe will, however, require a profound transformation of our production and consumption patterns. Consumer behavior will play a major role in supporting the successful transition to a bio-based economy. This paper uses a structured quantitative survey approach to gain an understanding of consumer perspectives in relation to bio-based products. Conducted among 18–75-year-old consumers in Ireland and the Netherlands, the study indicates that consumers in both countries have a relatively positive outlook regarding bio-based products, with Irish consumers showing a slightly more positive outlook. The study finds that a larger majority of Irish consumers would prefer buying bio-based products as opposed to fossil-based products, while Irish consumers also have a slightly more positive impression than Dutch consumers that their consumer choices can be beneficial for the environment.
