nrc.next
nrc.next is a Dutch national daily newspaper with an editorial office in Rotterdam . The newspaper appears Monday through Saturday in tabloid format. The newspaper is published by De Persgroep Nederland . The paid circulation in the first quarter of 2008 was 64,715 copies. The editor-in-chief is Peter Vandermeersch.
nrc.next is an offshoot of the NRC Handelsblad . The most obvious difference is the format (tabloid instead of broadsheet ), and nrc.next is a morning newspaper. In addition, there was no Saturday edition in the first few years.
history
Since the turn of the millennium, the edition of the NRC Handelsblad has fallen steadily due to new competition in the form of the Internet and free newspapers such as metro and Sp! Ts that have been on the market since 1999 . The younger generation no longer takes the traditional daily newspapers as naturally as their previous generations. Nrc.next was designed to reach such people again . The first issue appeared on March 15, 2006. Since October 12, 2013, the newspaper has also been published on Saturdays.
Conception
nrc.next is not just intended to be a "light" version of the NRC Handelsblad , but rather to offer a different approach to news. Some of the articles appear in both newspapers, which is why the publisher itself initially advised against subscribing at the same time. Some topics that are relevant for younger people are given more prominence (career, lifestyle), while on the other hand it is assumed that the readers have for the most part already received the news from other media and are therefore relying on analysis, comments and columns. An example of the latter is Jan Blokker , who had previously been a columnist for de Volkskrant since 1968 and switched to nrc.next in July 2006 .
