About NRC Media
NRC Media is a Netherlands-based publisher of the daily newspapers NRC Handelsblad and nrc.next as well as the online news site nrc.nl and a number of webshops. Thanks to our high-quality journalistic approach, we appeal to the decision-makers of today – and tomorrow. In general, our readers are well educated and autonomous with considerable spending power and an open-minded view of the world. Members of this target group have a need for objective, high-quality journalism to help put their decisions in context.
Exceed our readers' and advertisers' expectations
NRC Media has been an independent media company since officially splitting off from De Persgroep in March 2010. This new-found independence, along with daily relevance and external competition, has resulted in a dynamic company that is constantly evolving. We are continually investing in new print publications, developing online initiatives and working on creative – and effective – communication solutions for our partners in business. We take our readers’ and advertisers’ expectations as our starting point, and then set out to exceed them.
