What Nieuwsblad covers and who it suits

Nieuwsblad is a Dutch-language news app from Mediahuis. It brings the newspaper's reporting together with its podcasts and video, so a reader who wants the day's news, sports results and local stories can get them from one place. The listing is aimed at readers who follow sport and news from their own area, and at people who want something to listen to or solve during the day.

Everything from the newspaper's reporting sits in the same app. Articles can be read, podcasts can be played and videos can be watched, without switching to a separate service for each. The digital edition of the paper is also included, so the printed paper's content is available in the app as well.

Reading articles, the digital newspaper and video

The core of the app is the written news. Readers can open articles across the newspaper's coverage and move between them in one feed. The digital newspaper is a separate way in: it reproduces the paper as an edition, for readers who prefer to go through the day's paper page by page.

Video sits alongside the articles rather than in its own section. A story can be read in text, heard as a podcast or watched, depending on what suits the moment. The listing does not say which video formats or channels are included.

Live news, sport alerts and notification settings

For big stories and important sports matches, the listing says the app gives live updates as events happen. This is the feature for following a match or a breaking story as it unfolds, rather than reading it afterwards.

Notifications are set by the reader. You choose which alerts to receive: important news, sports updates or news from your own area. The listing says the preferences can be changed at any time, so the mix of alerts can be narrowed or widened as interests change.

Podcasts for the car and the kitchen

The app carries several podcasts from the newspaper's shows, named in the listing as De Stemmen van Assisen, Sjotcast, Het Punt van Van Impe and Vrolijke Vrekken. They are all held in the app, so there is no need to find them in a separate podcast player.

The listing suggests them for listening in the car or while cooking, which is the kind of use they are pitched for. Because they sit alongside the news, a reader can move from a podcast to an article on the same topic in the same app.

Daily puzzles and exclusive content

A new set of puzzles is added each day. The listing presents them as a break from the news, and they are the app's main non-news feature.

The listing also says app users get exclusive matches, dossiers and promotions. These are described only as available in the app, and the listing does not say how they are unlocked or whether they need an account.
