De Groene Amsterdammer (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈɣrunə ʔɑmstərˈdɑmər]) is an independent Dutch weekly news magazine published in Amsterdam. It is one of the five independent opinion magazines in the Netherlands, alongside HP/De Tijd, Vrij Nederland, Elsevier and the Jewish weekly NIW.

History and profile

[edit]

De Groene Amsterdammer was founded in 1877,[1] Martin van Amerongen was the editor-in-chief from 1984 to 1997 and then again from 1999 to 2002.[2]

De Groene Amsterdammer making it one of the oldest Dutch news magazines still in existence.[3][4] The magazine started under the name De Amsterdammer, meaning "someone (or something) from Amsterdam". In its early days green ink was used, later causing the word groene (green) to be added to its name when a second newspaper in Amsterdam was published under the same name De Amsterdammer. The name De Groene Amsterdammer became official in 1925. As its title implies the weekly is based in Amsterdam.[3] During the German occupation between 1940 and 1945, the magazine ceased to exist.[1]

Over the course of time the magazine manifested itself in Dutch media with a wide range of subjects being published about, varying from philosophy, politics and literature to the liberal arts. De Groene Amsterdammer, unlike its name suggests, shows a keen interest in international subjects, with a network of freelance correspondents in various countries over the world.[3]

The weekly magazine is generally considered to be intellectually left-wing and progressive. As of 2022, it has a circulation of 27,904.[5]
