The ***Haagsche Courant*** operated as an independent newspaper between 1864 and 2005 in [The Hague](/source/The_Hague) and its suburbs. After it was acquired by the [Algemeen Dagblad](/source/Algemeen_Dagblad) (AD) it is now published as **AD Haagse Courant**, written by local staff and the AD crew.

## History

The paper appeared as early as 1864 as the Belinfante edition, but remained continuously under the control of the Sijthoff family for over 120 years since [Albert Georg Sijthoff](/source/Albert_Georg_Sijthoff) in 1883.[1] The [Sijthoff publishing company](/source/Luitingh-Sijthoff) was attacked by [car bomb](/source/Car_bomb) after the newspaper printed a negative article about business activities in the 1980s by a [collection agency](/source/Collection_agency) owned by Dutch criminal [Eef Hoos](/source/Eef_Hoos).[2]

The paper remained an independent publication until 2005 when it merged with the *[Algemeen Dagblad](/source/Algemeen_Dagblad)*, along with *Rijn en Gouwe*, *Rotterdams Dagblad*, *De Dordtenaar* and the *Utrechts Nieuwsblad*. It continues to be published as *AD Haagsche Courant*, a regional edition of the *Algemeen Dagblad* for The Hague and suburbs.
