History

edit

Mediahuis was founded in January 2014 as a joint venture of two Flemish media corporations: Corelio and Concentra. They entered into a collaboration around their paper and digital publishing activities.[1] Corelio took 62% of the shares, Concentra the remaining 38%.

In 2015, Mediahuis acquired the Dutch NRC Media group.[3] In 2017 it acquired the Dutch Telegraaf Media Groep and VP Exploitatie joined as third shareholder.[1] It took 16.7% of the enlarged group.[citation needed]

In January 2019, majority shareholder Corelio NV became Mediahuis Partners NV, holding a 50.6% stake in Mediahuis, along with Concentra (32.7%) and VP Exploitatie (16.7%).[2] These three shareholders are in turn mainly owned by the Van Puijenbroek family, Belgian Baert family and Mediahuis chairman Thomas Leysen.[4]

On 30 April 2019 Mediahuis acquired Independent News & Media for 145.6 million euros,[5] which gave Mediahuis control over the Irish Independent and the Sunday Independent (Ireland), respectively Ireland's top-selling daily and Sunday newspaper, among other assets.

In July 2019, Mediahuis were reported to be interested in acquiring JPIMedia.[6]

In September 2020, Mediahuis acquired the heavily loss-making NDC Mediagroep.[citation needed] In May 2023, Mediahuis acquired leading EU affairs media outlet EURACTIV, which became the company's first international media platform acquisition.[7]

Mediahuis Nederlands started as the NV Holdingmaatschappij De Telegraaf[citation needed] and was later coined Telegraaf Media Groep N.V. (TMG).[1] In 2017 it was acquired by Mediahuis.[1] It owns De Telegraaf, the most popular newspaper in the Netherlands, DFT, Telesport, Metro, Autovisie, Privé and Vrouw; regional newspapers including Haarlems Dagblad and Noordhollands Dagblad; digital brands including GeenStijl and Dumpert, and the national radio station Classic FM. In addition, Mediahuis Nederland owns dozens of other brands that focus on local news, entertainment and e-commerce. Via Keesing Media Group publishes international puzzle magazines and digital puzzles.[citation needed]

TMG acquired the weblog GeenStijl after initially buying an interest and Hyves, at that time[when?] still the most popular social network site in the Netherlands.[citation needed] In 2012, TMG acquired the free daily newspaper Metro, which folded in 2019.

In 2016, TMG held a 23% stake in a joint venture with Talpa Holding, operating radio stations Radio 538, Sky Radio, Radio Veronica, Radio 10 and thematic channels (only on Internet). In addition, the television channel TV 538.[8]
