NOS Journaal

NOS Journaal is the umbrella name for the news broadcasts of the Dutch public broadcaster NOS on radio and television. The division of the NOS responsible for gathering and broadcasting the news is known as NOS Nieuws, and is based at the Media Park in Hilversum; the NOS also has fully equipped radio and television studios in The Hague, from which political programmes are often produced.

On 5 January 1956, the Nederlandse Televise Stichting (Dutch Television Foundation, the forerunner of the NOS) broadcast the first NTS-journaal bulletin, created under the influence of Jan-Willem Rengelink. The news were supervised by a special commission. Initially, these were published three times a week. Each edition lasted fifteen minutes and had no presenter. From 3 October 1957, Coen van Hoewijk became the first newsreader of NTS-journaal, and by extension, on Dutch television; the first female newsreader, Eugènie Herlaar, started in 1965. The number of broadcasts increased over time. The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (Dutch Broadcasting Foundation) was founded in 1969 due to a merger between the NTS and the Nederlandse Radio Union.

On 6 January 1973 at 8 pm, the autocue was introduced; previously, the newsreaders read from scripts printed on paper.

In 1989, NOS Journaal gained competition, in the form of RTL Nieuws, broadcast on the then-upstart channel RTL Véronique. Since then, other media have launched, bringing with them their own news broadcasts, such as SBS6 with its successful Hart van Nederland (Heart of the Netherlands), which focuses on news from within the Netherlands.

Major changes to the presentation of NOS Journaal were made in May 2012: the anchors now presented the news standing up, as opposed to being sat behind a desk, and the news began to be delivered with the help of a large videowall displaying pictures of the day's news. According to the NOS, these changes were made in order to give a greater sense of urgency and to connect more with the viewer.

Evening bulletins are broadcast at 6 pm, 8 pm and midnight on NPO 1 every day; in addition, current affairs programme Nieuwsuur, broadcast nightly at 9.30 pm on NPO 2, also includes a news bulletin, presented by an NOS newsreader.

The 8 pm broadcast is the oldest and considered to be the most important edition of NOS Journaal[by whom?], typically lasting for 25 minutes; there is more in-depth coverage of the news compared to the 6 pm edition, and there is a comprehensive weather report at the end, presented by a meteorologist.

As of 2018, there are NOS Journaal bulletins every half hour on weekdays between 6:30 am and 9 am on NPO 1, which are simulcast with a sign language interpreter on NPO 2, and hourly bulletins broadcast on NPO 1 or NPO 2 between 9 am and 5 pm. There are fewer bulletins at weekends: on Saturdays, the first bulletin is broadcast at 1 pm, and on Sundays at noon; there is also a short bulletin at 5 pm.
