Het Parool is an Amsterdam newspaper that was founded in 1941 and has since positioned itself as the capital’s leading newspaper. Het Parool offers a mix of news, culture, politics and lifestyle, with a focus on life in and around Amsterdam. The newspaper has a distinct character of its own, with a down-to-earth, critical and often sharp tone, which fits in well with the city itself.

Het Parool brings local news about Amsterdam as well as national and international news, but always with an Amsterdam perspective. The newspaper is proud of its history, especially its role as a resistance newspaper during the Second World War, and that is woven into the identity of the newspaper. Het Parool focuses on a wide audience, from city dwellers who are interested in everything that is happening in the city, to people who value in-depth analyses and opinions.
