Het Volk (newspaper)

Het Volk (English: The People) was a Belgian newspaper that focused on "news with a human undertone".

It gained international attention in 1944 when it was the first - and for a time, the only - paper to report the Von Rundstedt Offensive in the Ardennes.

In 1952, Het Volk purchased De Nieuwe Gids, a Brussels newspaper.

[6] In 2006 Het Volk had an average weekday circulation of 77,000 copies, according to the Centrum voor Informatie over de Media.

[4] From 1947 until the late 1980s the newspaper published a weekly youth supplement named 't Kapoentje, which was notable for its comics.

Next to a letters page and a series of articles on music, movies and other subjects that might interest schoolchildren, the supplement also had a special children's news section where current events were explained in simple language.
