Vrij Nederland

Vrij Nederland (Free Netherlands) is a Dutch magazine which was established during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II as an underground newspaper but has since grown into a magazine. The weekly magazine is generally considered to be intellectually left-wing. It is conventionally considered to be one of the four most influential written media in its sector, along with HP/De Tijd, De Groene Amsterdammer and Elsevier.

The first issue was published on 31 August 1940. The chief editors have included:

  • 1940-1942: Frans Hofker
  • 1941-1950: Henk van Randwijk
  • 1950-1955: Johan Winkler
  • 1955-1969: Mathieu Smedts
  • 1969-1991: Rinus Ferdinandusse
  • 1991-1997: Joop van Tijn
  • 1998-2000: Oscar Garschagen
  • 2001-2004: Xandra Schutte
  • 2004-2005: Gerard van Westerloo (interim)
  • 2005-2008: Emile Fallaux
  • 2008–present: Frits van Exter
