EenVandaag journalist Lammert de Bruin leaves AVROTROS after 25 years

EenVandaag journalist Lammert de Bruin is leaving Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS after more than 25 years, saying he wants to make room for other plans.

De Bruin, known for his contributions to the current affairs programme EenVandaag, said on social media that a move back to Friesland and other changes over the past year had prompted him to think about his future. He said he had discussed several options with AVROTROS in recent weeks and had decided, “in good consultation”, to pursue a future outside the broadcaster.

He also referred to a period when he had not been heard on NPO Radio 1. De Bruin said he looked back with pride and pleasure on his work at AVROTROS. He did not give details of his plans, saying he would share more later.
