Magazines
Magazines are also privately owned and historically connected to pillars: the main news magazines are the leftwing Vrij Nederland and De Groene Amsterdammer and the more rightwing Elsevier and HP/De Tijd.
Ca. 70 Dutch magazines have been sold to and are now published by the Finnish media group Sanoma. Apart from many typical Dutch ones like Margriet, Libelle and Nieuwe Revu these include a Disney magazine named after Donald Duck and the Dutch edition of Playboy.
