The impact of local media

Den Haag FM makes news and stories about what goes on in The Hague and what you really need to know about the city. Whether it’s about the housing market, parking problems, 112 news, or shopping, entertainment and culture. Den Haag FM keeps residents in the city informed. We are 100 per cent The Hague, with, by and for local people

That’s what’s so great about working for the local radio station. Everything you come across on the street can be a story. And you get to know so many local people. As a journalist that makes you feel very much a part of things.

Here, you can watch the clip about local lady Jacqueline who cooks for homeless people in her own kitchen during the summer months, and even delivers the food. She does it all for free and pays for everything herself. That story touched so many hearts that dozens of people emailed us wanting to help Jacqueline. Which goes to show the power of the media. It brings people together.

Den Haag FM also likes hearing what’s on the minds of local people. That’s why our reporter Pim Markering makes Straatvraag every week. He goes out into the streets with his microphone and a camerawoman. The stories could be about almost anything—local football club ADO Den Haag, the coronavirus measures, racism, house prices, riots or laughing gas. Everyone has stories and views they want to share with Pim. The result: insights and funny answers.
