History and profile

Algemeen Dagblad was founded in 1946. The paper is published in tabloid format and is headquartered in Rotterdam. Its regional focus includes the cities and regions around Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague.[1] In South Holland and Utrecht it is published and distributed with local dailies.[1] The national edition is for sale everywhere and distributed throughout the rest of the Netherlands.
