Focus on new design and young talent
"Listen, I can't say anything else: we're doing well. I myself worked on the economics desk, as a correspondent in New York during the Obama era and the crisis. I now work as a chief editor at NRC Q," says Staps.
Readers in a hurry
Behind the new initiative is a mix of ten new and seasoned editors. The new medium is supported by the NRC and NRCNext editors. Staps: “The reader who doesn’t have time to sit down and still wants to stay informed about relevant business topics, should be grabbed immediately via mobile, tablet, laptop or whatever device.”
Graphic of the day
NRC Q has mainly invested in new talent in the field of design and online. Graphics and images are given a central place. A graphic of the day is made every day. The online environment looks like a reliable news platform, like an online magazine in the field of business themes. The layout is calm, which allows me as a reader to read undisturbed. I have to admit that NRC Q looks slick and that I am immediately captivated.
The catch-up spot
“That is exactly what we want, especially for readers who do not have time to sit down and read the newspaper. We want to become the device-independent place to catch up on business, career, entrepreneurship, management and so on.”
Selecting for quality

NU in particular is etched in everyone's memory, so as a reflex, hasty readers rush in that direction.
Framing news
"The biggest difference is that we announce in the morning what is going to happen that day and we frame it. We come up with the things that are going to happen that day and keep it to a select number of pieces, namely fifteen per day."
Bloomberg the free newsletter of the day. It goes out every morning at half past five and also includes English-language articles from Bloomberg, for example.
“We write better”
