De Volkskrant is a Dutch daily newspaper known for its progressive, critical and intellectual tone. The newspaper was founded in 1919 and has developed over the years from a Catholic workers’ newspaper into a modern quality newspaper with a broad cultural and social profile.
De Volkskrant brings daily news, background information, columns and opinion pieces on politics, society, science, art and culture. The tone is often nuanced, with plenty of room for depth, analysis and personal stories. This attracts a reader who is interested in more than just the facts – someone who also wants to understand how and why things happen.
In addition to the paper newspaper, De Volkskrant also has a strong digital presence, with an extensive website, apps, podcasts and series. Visually, the newspaper has a modern design, with a lot of attention for photography and graphic design.
