The Netherlands soon without a Sunday newspaper

Soon there will be no more Sunday newspapers in the Netherlands. Following the discontinuation of the regional paper *Twentsche Courant Tubantia* in early 2009, the last Dutch Sunday newspaper, *De Telegraaf op Zondag*, is now also falling victim to the economic crisis.

The Sunday newspaper will continue to be published until the end of the year, the editorial team announced. The publishing group Telegraaf Media Groep (TMG) justified the closure with declining advertising revenues as a result of the recession. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung writes, some editorial sections will appear on Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays in the editions of De Telegraaf. With 650,000 copies, the tabloid is the highest-circulation daily newspaper in the Netherlands.
