Oh dear, hopefully they both end up on a different floor: Linda de Mol will be a direct colleague of Angela de Jong. Her magazine ends up in the hands of media giant DPG Media.
Linda de Mol will never forget how Angela de Jong acted in the Voice riot. The AD opinion diva was rightly critical of the questionable behavior of Linda’s boyfriend Jeroen Rietbergen as band leader of the program. But Linda’s actions are also not without controversy: for example, she knew about Ali B’s misconduct, but hardly intervened.
Linda vs Angela
A hand in your own bosom? Linda doesn’t do that. She was furious with the ‘sensation-seeking opinion makers’ Beau van Erven Dorens, Rob Goossens, Youp van ‘t Hek and… here it comes: “The big leader of this bizarre smear: that pathetic, intensely false Angela de Jong.”
Oh, oh, oh. And that ‘sad, intensely false’ Angela de Jong will soon be face to face with Linda at the DPG Media Christmas drinks. The media giant that owns Angela’s AD now owns Linda’s magazine LINDA. taken over. Things are getting a bit too hot for the current owner Talpa: “The magazine market is under great pressure.”
Paid circulation
Fewer and fewer trees are also being cut down for Linda’s magazine. “Due to the digitalization of media consumption, paid circulations are declining throughout the sector, a trend that even a strong brand like LINDA is also sensitive to,” says DPG Media.
Scale is essential and Talpa will not survive with one magazine. DPG Media is a printing giant with magazines such as Story, Superguide and Donald Duck, but also with other women’s titles. “While Libelle and Margriet have a strong position in the 50-plus target group, LINDA. and LINDA.meiden reach a significantly younger audience.”
Closely connected
According to DPG, Linda remains closely associated with LINDA. and the current editor-in-chief. Talpa boss Joost Brakel says: “We are happy that LINDA has found a strong new home in DPG Media to continue its growth and transformation.”
And LINDA. boss Louise van Nispen says: “Together we can further increase the impact and relevance of LINDA. and LINDA.meiden, for our readers and advertisers, on all our platforms. For this reason, Linda de Mol is also looking forward to this new collaboration.”
Now another camera on the corridors of DPG. Then the masses also have something to look forward to…
