history

The magazine was created in 1990 from a merger of De Tijd (since 1845) and Haagse Post (since 1914), both of which had to contend with steady circulation losses during the last ten years of their independence. Even after the merger, the rescheduled edition could not be kept. Since the turn of the millennium, however, in contrast to the (supra) regional daily newspapers, which mostly suffered considerable losses in circulation, the paper has not experienced any further loss of importance, but has to compete with the three other political magazines Elsevier , De Groene Amsterdammer and Vrij Nederland .

content

HP / De Tijd deals mostly with politics and culture. In addition to the treatment of current topics in the form of a weekly overview, interviews , portraits , essays , comments, reports and caricatures can be found in the magazine. The focus is heavily on the domestic market, even if the magazine has its own page Buitenlandse zaken ("Foreign"), on which a single special topic is dealt with, and in its weekly overview some events abroad are briefly reproduced in a few sentences. There are also brief reviews of books, CDs and DVDs . a special section for food & drink and a crossword puzzle.
