According to Johan Derksen, Tina Nijkamp is much too soft as a TV columnist for De Telegraaf. He believes that the ratings authority is no competition for Angela de Jong in this way. “Pussy!”
Angela de Jong has been extremely successful as a TV columnist for the AD for years and competitor De Telegraaf wanted to do something in return. That newspaper has managed to attract the ratings authority of our country, Tina Nijkamp. She is also the former broadcaster of SBS 6 and her pieces are therefore more professional and less sensational.
Tired of Tina
Boring, says Johan Derksen. “I’m getting a little tired of Tina. Not you?” he shouts Today Inside.
René van der Gijp: “Yes, yes.”
Johan: “Well, look. Tina knows about TV, she was director of SBS 6. I even negotiated with her again. It was not quite a personal insult what she offered then, I remember, but in any case: she came back and she is now very busy with those ratings…”
Brutal attacks
It is clear that Tina is an expert, according to Johan. “She does understand the subject matter, but De Telegraaf has used her for competition against Angela de Jong, but Angela de Jong with those brutal personal attacks on vain TV stars…”
Wilfred Genee: “Yes, now with Khalid & Sophie, hey, she’s tackling them completely.”
Johan: “Yes, Angela de Jong is a wonderful read as long as it is not your turn that day. Then it reads well. But those numbers from Tina… Pussy!”
TV content
Wilfred notes that Tina writes a completely different type of columns. “Well, she tries to approach it more from a TV content perspective. She tries to make it a more technical story.”
Özcan: “And share viewing figures, every morning.”
René believes that Tina should not try to give ‘hard statements’. “You should not do that. That’s Angela de Jong. One-liners coming. But she’s not like that at all and then you shouldn’t do it.”
