| Abstract: | Structural changes in the media world, incl. an increase in competition and commercialization, mean that the topicality and urgency of the notion of social responsibility (hereafter as: soc.resp.) in the media are increasing. Analogously, the discussion of the soc.resp. of companies and organizations becomes a central concern in the business world and within government, as the relatively new concept of 'good governance' shows. In recent years we have seen that the absolute belief in the free market is once again under debate. This article assesses accountability mechanisms currently in existence in the Netherlands and provides a comparative overview of interesting practices in other geographical contexts. |
