Nederlands Dagblad


Nederlands Dagblad is a Dutch daily newspaper, available nationwide, with a daily circulation of 23,800 issues.

History

The paper was founded in 1944 as a semi-resistance paper during World War II called Reformatie Stemmen. After the war it was renamed De Vrije Kerk and later Gereformeerd gezinsblad. In 1959 it became a daily newspaper.
The paper obtained its current name in 1967. For many years it had a strong binding with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and the Gereformeerd Politiek Verbond, a former Dutch christian political party. In recent years, it attempts to offer a broader perspective on contemporary issues from a Christian point of view.
The office is in Amersfoort.
