De Pers’ publisher leaves?
According to unconfirmed rumors, Cornelis van den Berg, the driving force behind free daily De Pers in the Netherlands, will step down shortly. The reason might be the financial paper that was launched last week as a test. Within the company not everybody was pleased (or informed) of this plan.
Publisher Van den Berg wrote the business plan and found a private investor, Marcel Boekhoorn, for the newspaper that launched in January 2007. (DAG, via MediaNederland)
