Frits Thors

Alexander Frederik Paul "Frits" Thors (13 September 1909 – 19 April 2014) was a Dutch journalist and news anchor.

Prior to the NTS-Journaal, he had already had a long career as a radio presenter for the AVRO.

From 1946 on he worked as a freelance journalist for the Canadian broadcaster CBC (1946 to 1948 in Montreal) and the Dutch Wereldomroep.

In an interview with NOS-reporter Peer Ulijn Thors appeared extraordinarily clear of spirit.

[3] Thors was not very fond of publicity in his later years, but he did attend the presentation of a book honouring the Netherlands' most famous newscasters of the NTS-Journaal in October 2012; Thors was 103 at the time.
