NOS has launched an evening news programme in easy language, catering to the 2.5 million people in the Netherlands struggling with literacy and numeracy.
Onno Duyvene de Wit emphasized that the initiative aims to serve not only newcomers but also native Dutch individuals who have faced language barriers.
The NOS Journaal in Makkelijke Taal features simpler sentence structures and fewer topics, aiming to make news accessible to a broader audience.
A government study highlighted that 62% of local government communication was too complex for those with lower education levels, sparking a push for clearer communication.
