Due to an internal mistake in the National Archive in The Hague, the personal files of hundreds of mayors and commissioners of the Queen have been easily accessible for the public. The files which originate in the Ministry of Interior contain confidential data such as medical data, solicitation letters and information about issues with which they had problems. One of the files from which many copies were made is that of former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt. On such files, the legal time of disclosure is very long, in some cases up till 70 years.This project sets out to demonstrate that media coverage can degrade a country's image by using selective news without context. It uses the Netherlands as an example. It is a reaction to the frequent misrepresentations of Israel in many ways in major media, including those of the Netherlands.
