history
From numerous previous newspapers, the oldest of which was published in 1771, a single relic, the Brabants Dagblad , emerged through mergers over time . Said oldest predecessor newspaper made a dozen name changes, three of them in a single year. The graphic below shows the various previous newspapers, mergers and renaming, which are dealt with in the following sections, for the sake of clarity.
The Brabants Dagblad before the 1994 merger
In 1771 the Eerste s-Hertogenbossche Dinsdagse (Vrydagse) Courant appeared for the first time (the name was based on the respective publication days Tuesday = Dinsdag and Friday = Vrydag). It was the first newspaper in the North Brabant region and was founded by the two printers LJ Bresser and CA Viéweg. During the period of the Batavian Republic , the subsequent Kingdom of Holland and the brief annexation of the Netherlands by France , the name of the newspaper changed every few years, and after that there were also a number of name changes:
- 1794: 's-Hertogenbosche Vaderlandse Courant
- 1798: Bossche Vaderlandse Courant
- 1806: 's-Hertogenbossche Courant
- 1810: Journal Du Département des Bouches du Rhin (during the time of the Netherlands as part of France)
- 1814: State expert Dagblad van de Rhijn Monden (since January 28)
- 1814: Dagblad van het Department of the Moons (since February 18th)
- 1814: Dagblad of the Provincie Braband (since May 3rd)
- 1815: Dagblad of the Provincie Noord-Brabant
- 1818: Provinciaal Dagblad
- 1845: Provinciaal Dagblad van Noord-Brabant en 's-Hertogenbossche Stads-Courant
- 1853: Provinciale Noordbrabantsche en 's-Hertogenbosche Courant
In 1941, during the time of the German occupation in World War II , a merger with the newspaper Het Noordbrabantsch Dagblad-Het Huisgezin was ordered. Its oldest forerunner was the Catholic newspaper Noord-Brabander, founded in 1829 (1845: De Noord-Brabanter), which in turn merged in 1895 with Noordbrabantsch-Dagblad, founded in 1892, to form Noord-Brabanter-Noordbrabantsch Dagblad . In 1910 the newspaper Noordbrabantsch Dagblad-Huisgezin was created through a further merger with Huisgezin, which had existed since 1869, and finally in 1941 the above-mentioned merger with Brabants Dagblad followed . The new newspaper was given the name Noordbrabantsche Courant , in 1944 it was briefly called Nieuwe Brabantsche Courant .
After the publication ban for all newspapers that had appeared in the Netherlands from 1943, a successor newspaper with the name Provinciale Noordbrabantsche Courant - Het Huisgezin was allowed to appear again from October 26, 1946 . On January 3, 1959, it changed its name to Brabants Dagblad , until 1960 the old name remained as a subheading.
On May 21, 1994, the Brabants Dagblad merged with Het Nieuwsblad , which marked the preliminary end point of the numerous previous mergers.
Het Nieuwsblad until the merger with Brabants Dagblad
After a sample number of September 30, 1865, the first edition of Het Weekblad van Tilburg appeared shortly afterwards on October 7th . The publisher was Wilhelmus Bergmans, who set a strict moral course in his conservative Catholic newspaper, which excluded everything to the contrary.
Bergmans gave up management as early as 1866, and the newspaper was given the subheading "De krant van Luyten". From 1869 it appeared twice a week and changed its name to Tilburgse Courant, Algemeen Nieuws- en Advertentieblad . It has appeared daily since December 18, 1911, but had a declining number of subscribers after the First World War . In 1931 it was finally taken over by the owners of the Nieuwe Tilburgse Courant and integrated into the newspaper. The Nieuwe Tilburgse Courant was created on January 1, 1901, when the predecessor of the same name (founded in 1879, appeared on Wednesdays and Saturdays) and Tilburgs Dagblad voor Volksbelang (founded in 1898, appeared on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) were merged into one daily newspaper.
Since the newspaper was still published after 1942 during the German occupation in World War II , it was temporarily banned from publication after the war. This was circumvented a few months after the war when the newspaper traded under the name Tilburgse Courant , the newspaper it had taken over in 1931. In 1951 they returned to Nieuwe Tilburgse Courant .
As early as 1961, before the general detachment of many Dutch newspapers from their church background in the second half of the 1960s, the newspaper deleted the word "Catholic" from its front page. In 1964 the Nieuwe Tilburgse Courant was finally taken over by the competitor Het Nieuwsblad van het Zuiden , the last edition appeared on April 18, 1964. Het Nieuwsblad van het Zuiden was first published on August 6, 1917 and as a counterweight to the Nieuwe Tilburgse Courant , which was published by the Catholic trade union confederations were increasingly used as a mouthpiece. During the German occupation in World War II, Het Nieuwsblad van het Zuiden was banned from appearing as early as October 1, 1941, which gave it the advantage of being able to appear again immediately after the war, unlike its competitor.
In 1967 the Nieuwsblad van het Zuiden was taken over by the publishing house " Verenigde Nederlandse Uitgeverijen " (VNU). In 1983 it changed its name to Het Nieuwsblad, dagblad voor Midden-Brabant . In 1994 the newspaper ended when it was integrated into the Brabants Dagblad .
The Brabants Dagblad since the 1994 merger
In September 1999, publisher VNU sold its newspapers BN / DeStem , Brabants Dagblad , Eindhovens Dagblad , de Gelderlander and De Limburger to Wegener. On February 6, 2007, the broadsheet was switched to the more compact tabloid format.
