The open and interactive nature of web 2.0 is not without its disadvantages. Any<br />

user can contribute information, including incorrect, inappropriate or out of context<br />

information, which poses a risk that data or information could be incomplete, misleading<br />

or even entirely wrong.<br />

At a glance: Success factors for <strong>sustainability</strong> communication using web 2.0<br />

• Provide topic or issue specific discussion platforms<br />

• Enable real-time communication<br />

• Enable participative and interactive formats (blogs and web-communities)<br />

• Promote cross-<strong>media</strong> collaboration with print, TV and radio formats<br />

• Enable the formation and diffusion of detailed news, messages and background<br />

information<br />

Argument 6: Entertainment TV and print/online <strong>media</strong> are genres that play a<br />

decisive role in the <strong>media</strong> landscape of NRW<br />

Entertainment TV<br />

NRW is home to a high concentration of TV broadcasters with the majority of these<br />

focussing on entertainment programs. Of 30 private television broadcasters supervised<br />

by the Media Authority of Northrhine-Westfalia (LfM) 9 , 19 focus mainly on<br />

entertainment programming (such as “SuperRTL” and “VOX”). Out of these 19<br />

cases, five focus on the interests of first or second generation migrants, which in<br />

2005 comprised 22.4% of the NRW population10 , and who tend to hold preferences<br />

for receiving emotionally-oriented information, such as through storylines in soaps<br />

or family programs11 .<br />

Print<br />

There is also a high concentration of newspaper and magazine publishers in NRW.<br />

Fully 40 publishing houses and 42 newspapers are based in the region, including a<br />

number of nationally distributed newspapers/magazines. Despite their concentration<br />

in the region, newspapers are in general losing readers but most strikingly<br />
