Hitkrant was a Dutch magazine with a focus on music, film and television that was for sale on newsstands from 1977 to 2017. More

The first edition of the Hitkrant was published on January 7, 1977. In a fairly unique format of 8 long pages without a real front cover, with articles and posters, the magazine immediately made an impression.

Later that year the magazine did get a front cover but kept the character of a pop newspaper. From number 45, from 11 November 1982 the Hitkrant became a weekly magazine, sought cooperation with the Belgian Joepie and maintained a strong position on the magazine market.

With extensive articles on music, sports, film, love and relationships and television, the magazine remained popular for a long time, until the declining interest in printed media also proved fatal for Hitkrant.

In this century, the Hitkrant first became a biweekly publication, to eventually cease to exist in print in 2017. After a digital appearance online, the Hitkrant finally stopped completely in 2020.
