LOOK. De Volkskrant recorded a whole range of examples of transgressive behavior among some 70 former Van Nieuwkerk employees: “People were burned to the ground”
“I’ve noticed that many emotions compete for priority: shame at the fear that the editors felt, regret that I had – quite literally – blind ambition and therefore crossed borders, sadness for De Wereld Draait Door, my life’s work after all , falters,” says Van Nieuwkerk. The presenter is discredited after ‘de Volkskrant’ published an extensive investigation into the behind-the-scenes work culture of De Wereld Draait Door on Friday night. According to dozens of ‘de Volkskrant’ employees, these were “extreme outbursts of anger and public humiliation”.
Van Nieuwkerk, long the public broadcaster’s most iconic and best-paid announcer, will use the coming period “to come to his senses”. “After that I hope to hear from you again.” Before that he made several TV shows around Top 2000. NTR decided to stop recording Top 2000 Quiz on Saturday in response to Volkskrant’s article. Nothing is known about the continuation of this.
LOOK. Quickly explained: who exactly is Matthijs van Nieuwkerk?
