The ''Gazette van Detroit'' first appeared as a weekly newspaper, later it became bi-weekly, and today it is a monthly paper. It is often referred to as the "only Belgian paper in America". By 2004, celebrating its ninetieth birthday, it was still a popular newspaper among North Americans of Flemish ancestry and their relatives in Belgium. To date, the Gazette van Detroit has still many subscribers in North America and in Belgium. In 2006, the Flemish Government donated 12,500 euro to ensure the ''Gazette van Detroit'' could continue its operations. ==Mission statement== Official Mission Statement of the ''Gazette van Detroit'': "Het Licht Voor ‘t Volk" ("A Light For The People"):〔(gazettevendetroit.com )〕 "The Gazette van Detroit is an unaffiliated, apolitical, non-profit organization written by and for North Americans of Flemish descent and Dutch-speaking Belgians.
