history

The first edition of Elsevier appeared as Elsevier's Weekblad on October 27, 1945; previously the publisher Elsevier's Uitgeversmaatschappij had already published Elsevier's Geïllustreerd manuscript since 1891 , until it was banned by the German occupiers in 1940 during the Second World War . With the opposition to the decolonization of the Dutch East Indies and the extensive economic reporting, Elsevier clearly displayed the political line - conservative in social, liberal in economic matters. The latter gained even greater importance when the magazine was split up into Elsevier's Magazine and the pure business paper Elsevier's Weekblad (EW) in 1965 , although the latter was reintegrated into the magazine in 1988.

In 1965-85 Elsevier's Magazine moved from a literary to a journalistic style. Politically little changed, as editor-in-chief Ferry Hoogendijk consistently criticized the De Uyl government , but was replaced in 1985 by the former editor-in-chief of the NRC Handelsblad , André Spoor, who turned the paper inside out and changed it to his current one, also due to complaints from the editorial staff about his authoritarian management style Names. Spoor had to u Elsevier after two years. a. left again due to illness, since then his successors have been able to keep Elsevier on course, unlike many other print media, which have clearly lost circulation since the turn of the millennium .
