Nieuw Israëlietisch Weekblad


The Nieuw Israelietisch Weekblad, in short NIW, is the only Jewish weekly and the oldest functioning news magazine in the Netherlands. Founded on August 4, 1865, it has tried to inform the Jewish community on issues concerning Jews and Judaism in the Netherlands and in the world. Its headquarters is in Amstelveen. The chairman of the NIW is Jigal Markuszower and the managing editor is Elise Friedman.
The NIW has some 6,000 subscribers. To enlarge the readership, the NIW started a modernization campaign in 2001, but this had minimal effect on the number of subscribers. The total circulation of the magazine as of 2019 is more than 15.000 copies.
