The evolving economic and business landscape requires media and publishing companies to develop new ways of operating. Mediahuis is the publisher of publications such as De Standaard, De Telegraaf, Luxemburger Wort and Irish Independent and operates in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and Ireland.
