ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes nine cases which indicate the way that the increasing importance that policy makers, politicians, public managers and citizens attach to the creation and distribution of visual events influences different public policy processes. It focuses on the societal and political context, and addresses the creation and distribution of the visual event. The book discusses the observed changes in the course, content and outcome of the policy process. It also focuses on framing and the stories that are embedded in the framing activities of the involved actors. Informational transparency and analytical transparency are less important since in all cases most of the facts were already known to actors, but might not have been linked to one another, and analysis of the issue is generally not present to a very high degree in the cases.
