Circulation
The daily circulation was 326,000 copies in 2002, dwindling to some 235,000 in 2011, which nevertheless makes it the third biggest newspaper of the Netherlands, after the De Telegraaf and Algemeen Dagblad. The total Dutch newspaper circulation in 2002 was 4.9 million (4.2m paid and 0.7m free). The paper has since then heavily lost in circulation. The circulation drop occurred under the editorship of Pieter Broertjes, who gave up his 20-year tenure in 2010.

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
