Abstract

A documentary program broadcast on Dutch television on April 8, 1994, reported that a rather unknown financial company was suspected of tax fraud. Elco Brinkman, leader of the then largest Dutch political party CDA , was member of the board of this company. Although it was explicitly stated that Brinkman was not suspected to have played any role in the suspected fraud, the total program (i.e. the impact of its sounds, and its picture-sequences, on its verbal part) has a strong suggestion of Brinkman being involved in criminal activities. In this paper, a detailed analysis is presented of the techniques which evoque this suggestion. These techniques are: the mise en scene of pictures within a documentary context, the association by means of pictures whereas the verbal part is neutral, and the cutting of interview fragments into new verbal sequences.
