Jeugdjournaal (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjøːxt.ʃuːrˌnaːl]; "youth news programme") is a Dutch television news programme produced by the Dutch public service broadcaster NOS for children. The programme has been on air since 1981.

The main evening programme airs at 7:00 pm (CET), running for 20 minutes every night on NPO 3 (formerly Nederland 3). A 5-minute short version also airs on weekdays at 8:45 am. Both programmes are also broadcast on the international satellite Dutch-language television station BVN.

The aim of Jeugdjournaal was to present news that is both of interest to and within the mindset of a younger audience, without shying away from the main national and international news headlines. Because of its use of easy language and simple explanation of current affairs, the broadcasts also attracted a following with adult viewers.

History

A radio news programme for young viewers titled Jeugdjournaal already existed as early as 1947 on

NCRV.[1] By the 1950s, NTS, the predecessor to NOS, broadcast a youth current affairs programme called De verrekijker.[2]

The idea of a televised youth news programme similar to that of the

KRO and TROS also protested against the idea of a current affairs programme for children.[4] Some viewers argued that there was no need for a specified youth-orientated programme, rather the NOS should work to make the main news programme accessible to a wider audience.[5] Ed van Westerloo, the then editor-in-chief of NOS Journaal, however called the idea an "enrichment".[6]

Thanks to the decision of

Minister of Culture, Recreation and Social Work, NOS received over a million guilders to produce Jeugdjournaal.[7] The first broadcast was then planned for 1 October 1980 as part of a two-year trial.[8] In May 1980, the first broadcast was delayed to 5 January 1981 as an excessive number of people had applied for the five to seven available positions for the creation of the programme.[9]

The first Jeugdjournaal broadcast received lukewarm responses. The show's first editor-in-chief, Arno Wamsteeker, blamed it on the lack of news that very 5 January 1981.[10] In an NRC Handelsblad article of 31 December 1981, it was noted that most children were however satisfied with Jeugdjournaal.[11]

Jeugdjournaal was nominated for the Gouden Stuiver, the most important television prize for children's programming, a total of seven times. The programme lost out in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008 before finally receiving the accolade in 2009.[12]
