Eindhovens Dagblad is a daily Dutch newspaper based in the city of Eindhoven. In 2008 it had a circulation of 105,866 copies.[1]
Eindhovensch Dagblad first appeared on December 23, 1911. In 1963 it was bought by the owner of its competitor Oost-Brabant. They merged and continued under the Eindhovensch Dagblad name. A year later the Nieuwe Eindhovense Krant also merged into this newspaper which had a minor change in its name due to a change in Dutch spelling: Eindhovens Dagblad. In 1967 it was bought by Verenigde Nederlandse Uitgeversbedrijven (VNU), which also acquired the Helmonds Dagblad. In 1993 Helmonds Dagblad stopped being published and Eindhovens Dagblad was also introduced in Helmond. In 2000 VNU sold its publishing group to Wegener.[2]
In 1994 Eindhovens Dagblad was the first Dutch newspaper with an internet publication.
