Description
Summary:In 1848 freedom of the press was written into the constitution of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. The life cycle characteristics of the market for daily newspapers in The Netherlands since then are investigated.

The life cycle of the competitive newspaper industry in The Netherlands is characterized by a turning period of turmoil during World War II. Models that aim at estimating the expected lifetime of newspapers should acknowledge the cyclical characteristics of the industry.
