“My name is Gert-Jaap Hoekman (1981) and I am the editor-in-chief of NU.nl. I set out the journalistic lines and think along about the most important news and explanation stories of the day. I studied journalism in Utrecht and started my career started at the magazine New Revue. There I wrote as a reporter on various topics and was also editor-in-chief. At NU.nl I like to hammer on ‘backyard journalism’: the art of looking around you (also outside working hours) and being amazed at what you see and experience. I want an editorial team with many different backgrounds, because the more different ‘backyards’, the more varied our amazement. And the more complete the news on NU.nl.”
