''De Correspondent'' (in English sometimes referred to as ''The Correspondent'') is a Dutch news website based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was launched on 30 September 2013 after raising more than in a crowd-funding campaign in eight days time, establishing a world record in journalism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Dutch crowdfunded news site has raised $1.3 million and hopes for a digital-native journalism )〕 The website distinguishes itself by rejecting the daily news cycle and focussing on in-depth and chronological coverage on a topical basis, led by individual correspondents who each focus on specific topics. The concept and initial success of ''De Correspondent'' has inspired other projects elsewhere, notably the German website ''Krautreporter'' which has adopted the same concept. ==History== The project was co-founded by Dutch journalist Rob Wijnberg, creative director Harald Dunnink, CTO Sebastian Kersten and publisher Ernst-Jan Pfauth. Wijnberg, former editor-in-chief of Dutch newspaper ''NRC Next'', proposed the crowdfunding idea for an ad-free new media platform on national television in March 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Journalistiek initiatief 'De Correspondent' van Rob Wijnberg )〕 Eight days later, he and his team reached their goal of 15,000 subscribers all paying 60 euros for a one-year membership (). Wijnberg worked with digital creative agency Momkai and its owners, Harald Dunnink and Sebastian Kersten, served as creative director and CTO respectively. Ernst-Jan Pfauth, who previously was the founding editor of The Next Web and head of digital at Dutch newspaper ''NRC Handelsblad'', joined as a publisher. The website went live in September 2013. By February 2015 the website had over 30,000 paying subscribers (). In 2014, ''De Correspondent'' concluded a deal with Medium’s magazine ''MATTER'', for the magazine to translate stories from ''De Correspondent'' that they believe are relevant for an international audience. The first article in the partnership concerned the hazards of using public Wi-Fi.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Here’s Why Public Wifi is a Public Health Hazard )〕 In 2015, ''De Correspondent'' started translating stories from Dutch to English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「De Correspondent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
