Abstract Since 2012 well over 1,000 journalists have been made redundant in The Netherlands, out of a total population of approximately 18,000 working journalists. In 2015, 16% (or 3,000 practitioners) of all Dutch journalists were formally registered as unemployed.1 This chapter reports on an online survey among working journalists who have been forced out of their contract or who have decided to resign, supplemented with a series of oral history interviews with prominent journalists who faced resignation in recent years.
