Managers: Want to stop inappropriate behavior at work? Listen to gossip!Here is yet another case of inappropriate behavior to recently hit the press: Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, host of De Wereld Draait Door is now accused of sexual misconduct and physical assault. And this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg. According to a new report by the Commission Van Rijn, three quarters of all employees at Dutch broadcaster NPO have suffered from some kind of bad behavior over the years. |

Russel Brand: Not the only one guiltyYet again, another famous white man has recently been accused of rape and sexual harassment. Four women have claimed that Russel Brand, the controversial stand-up comedian, has abused them between 2006 and 2013, while he was at the height of his career. Brand denies the allegations, and, à la Trump, spews out disinformation and conspiracy theories to defend himself. “Is there another agenda at play?” he asked in one of his videos, feeding on his audience’s deep skepticism of the media. |

Gossip and witchcraft: insights from a coil project with South AfricaMy journalism and media students just finished a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) project with communication design students from the Central University of Technology (CUT) in Bloemfontein. Their assignment was to interview their partners from CUT about gossip in South Africa: what are the attitudes towards gossip there? What do people talk about? And their partner from CUT had to create an illustration for their article. I would like to share some of the (very interesting) results with you! |

The taboo surrounding gossipA little while ago, Japke-d. Bouma and I were interviewed by journalist Hanneke Mijnster (for Eva Jinek’s online platform). Her article, Je mag dit niet doorvertellen, maar… de zin en onzin van roddelen op werk, describes the pros and cons of gossiping at work, and gives tips on how to gossip strategically. When the article was posted on LinkedIn and on Instagram, many of the readers’ reactions astonished me (although I certainly shouldn’t have been surprised, given the horrible reputation gossip has). |

Getting caught gossiping: when the absent third party is no longer absentThere’s a hilarious scene in the film Johnny English with Rowan Atkinson. The clumsy, rather daft, secret agent tries to mingle at millionaire’s Pascal Sauvage’s party and flirts with an attractive woman, who introduces herself as Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia). He does not recognize Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich) who creeps up behind him. Johnny English grabs his bloody Mary, assuming Sauvage is the waiter: “Can you get some of those cheesy nibbles?” he asks him, and turns back to Lorna. “Now, where were we?” he asks her, plunging his eyes into hers. “You obviously haven’t met our host, Monsieur Sauvage,” she says. “No, thank God!” English scoffs. “You know, I think I’d rather have my bottom impaled on a giant cactus rather than exchange pleasantries with that jumped-up Frenchman. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing the French should be allowed to host is an invasion.” English turns to face the man he believes to be the waiter, standing right behind him. “Pascal Sauvage, the jumped-up Frenchman,” he says sarcastically, shaking Lorna Campbell’s hand. Johnny English’s awkward reaction and Lorna Campbell’s mortification are priceless. |

MalnourishedI recently gave a lecture about gossip to ninety Parisian students, as a part of their university’s online International Days. It was very efficient: in one click, I was in Paris. But it felt like I was suddenly parachuted in front of a crowded lecture hall with a blindfold on. No welcome ceremony, no coffee, no petits fours, no informal drinks to help me ease into it. I asked the bubbles on my computer: “Do you gossip differently now that everything is online?” After a long silence, one icon started to flash on my screen: “Well, we gossip a lot less now, as nothing much is going on, and we have a lot less to talk about. There are no parties, very few social gatherings, and no physical lectures, so not much is happening.” Life is pretty boring these days, the students agreed. |
