history

The Leidsch Dagblad was founded in 1860 by Albert Willem Sijthoff, one of the most important publishers in the Netherlands of the nineteenth century, as a competitor to the Leidsche Courant . After the first ten years of fine-tuning the right concept, the paper had 3,688 subscribers in 1880. In 1878 Sijthoff also founded the two newspapers Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad and Nieuws van den Dag and finally handed over the management of the Leidsch Dagblad to his son Gerard Henri in 1886 .

From 1943 onwards, during the German occupation in World War II , the Leidsch Dagblad did not appear until the end of the war, as the request of the occupiers to appoint an editor-in-chief from the ranks of the NSB was not accepted by the newspaper. During this time, the loyal Dagblad voor Leiden en Omstreken took their place.

In 1980 the Leidsch Dagblad became part of the Damiate publishing house, which published the newspapers De Typhoon , Haarlems Dagblad , IJmuider Courant , Nieuwe Noordhollandse Courant and De Noord-Amsterdammer . On January 1, 1992 Damiate merged again with the publishing house VND, publisher of Noordhollands Dagblad , to form the Hollandse Dagbladcombinatie (HDC). A year later, the Hollandse Dagbladcombinatie was taken over by the Telegraaf Media Groep .

In 2004 the Leidsch Dagblad and its sister newspaper Haarlems Dagblad were converted from an evening to a morning newspaper.
