Tilburg – The column Tilburger Luuk Koelman GeenStijl on Thursday refused by the editorial board of the newspaper Metro. “Unfortunately, yes denied” Koelman said. He says he can not write negatively about his employer. GeenStijl fact is, like Metro, under the Telegraaf Media Group.
Every Thursday you will see a column of Koelman in Metro. The column this week was about GeenStijl. “That is part of TMG. Also Metro is part of TMG. And it is not my intention to negative write about my own boss,” the explanation of Koelman is.
Referendum is PR stunt
the ‘notorious’ column is now simply go online and the Ukraine Referendum. According to him, this referendum is not about Ukraine, but it is “one big PR stunt to market value to raise GeenStijl.
” If you columnist the court jester, “Koelman explains. “Then you can take your own king size. If I as a columnist my own king to take the measure, with TMG, you may do so apparently not.”
He himself had stood still for a moment that this could happen. “The editorial is in the right. But why take one columnist in the service?” He wonders aloud.
Previously fuss about columns
Several columns of Koelman came also previously discredited. He wrote a nepbrief to the parents of a boy who had committed suicide, on behalf of the editor of the Catholic Nieuwsblad.
That ‘letter’ was taken offline by Metro. A column about Beatrix was denied by the newspaper.
