history
The newspaper first appeared as a weekly newspaper on October 6, 1871 under the editorship of Gerrit Boonstra.
During the Second World War , then editor-in-chief Aris Smit Jr. struggled with the constraints of his time. Although he refused to print some Nazi-influenced articles, including those by the publicist Max Blokzijl (executed after the war), and had to pay fines for them, he wrote a letter to the Reich Commissioner of the Press Department against an illegal underground newspaper. After the war, Smit was imprisoned for six months and then banned from the profession for fifteen years. The reason for this was that in the end he had adapted himself all too compliantly to the circumstances.
It was not until January 2, 1985, when it also appeared on Saturdays, that the Barneveldse Krant referred to itself as a daily newspaper; previously it had only been published Monday to Friday.
In 2002 the newspaper's editorial team received a nomination for the " Prijs voor de Dagbladjournalistiek " (daily newspaper journalism prize) for reporting on the foot-and-mouth disease that was rampant at the time . In September 2005 the newspaper switched to the tabloid format and at the same time introduced color printing for the entire newspaper. In 2006, editor-in-chief Jur van Ginkel received the award "Moedigste Hoofdredacteur van Nederland" (most courageous editor-in-chief of the Netherlands) from "De Redactie", a company that recruits editors, and on his retirement in May 2007 the award of the "Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau ". In the same month the publisher of the newspaper BDU brought a lawsuit against the free newspaper Barneveld Vandaag , which is published by the Wegener publishing house and appears four times a week, for the self-designation "daily newspaper", which BDU considered misleading, and was right in court.
