From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_the_Neth... it looks like the newspaper industry in the Netherlands is having similar problems to that industry in other countries:

> The number of national daily newspapers in the Netherlands was 108 in 1950, 38 in 1965, 10 in the 2010s, 9 since March 2020, and 8 since March 2021.
