History

Mediahuis was founded in 2014 [6] as a joint venture of two Flemish media corporations Corelio and Concentra. They entered into a collaboration around their paper and digital publishing activities. Corelio took 62% of the shares, Concentra the remaining 38%.

In 2015 Mediahuis acquired the Dutch NRC Media group. In 2017 it acquired the Dutch Telegraaf Media Groep. VP Exploitatie took 16.7% of the enlarged group.

In January 2019, Corelio NV, majority shareholder in the Belgian-Dutch group Mediahuis, becomes Mediahuis Partners NV. Mediahuis Partners NV currently holds a 50.6% stake in Mediahuis, along with Concentra (32.7%) and VP Exploitatie (16.7%). [7]

On 30 April 2019 Mediahuis agreed to acquire Independent News & Media for 145.6 million euro.[8] The deal will give Mediahuis control over the Irish Independent and the Sunday Independent (Ireland), respectively Ireland's top-selling daily and Sunday newspaper, among other assets.

In July 2019, Mediahuis were reported to be interested in acquiring JPIMedia. [9]
