Leidsch Dagblad is a regional newspaper that focuses on the region around Leiden and the Bollenstreek, in the province of South Holland. The newspaper was founded in 1873 and has since played an important role in informing the residents of Leiden and the surrounding areas, such as Katwijk, Voorschoten, and Oegstgeest.
Leidsch Dagblad offers a wide range of news, from local politics, municipal issues and events to national and international developments. What makes the newspaper special is its strong focus on the region, with a lot of attention for life in and around Leiden, the history of the city and cultural events such as festivals, exhibitions and music performances. Social issues, such as education and healthcare, also receive the necessary attention.
