History
Since the millennium edition of the NRC Handelsblad by the new competition in the form of the Internet and the come on the market since 1999 free newspapers like metro and Sp! Ts is constantly fallen. The younger generation is no longer effective as of course to the traditional newspapers as their predecessor generations. In order to again reach such people was designed nrc.next. The first issue was published on 15 March 2006. Since 12 October 2013, the newspaper appears on Saturdays.
Conception
Nrc.next should not simply be a "light" version of the NRC Handelsblad, but offer a different approach to news. Part of the article appears in two newspapers, which is why the publisher itself initially discouraged by a concurrent subscription. Some relevant for younger people issues are more to the fore ( career, lifestyle ), while on the other hand, assumed that the readers have referred to a large extent the news already from other media, and is therefore placed on analysis, commentaries and columns. An example of the latter, Jan Blokker, who was previously a columnist since 1968 for de Volkskrant and switched to nrc.next in July 2006.
