A'DAM - Free dailies will now be included in the Dutch Press Fund support policy, according to Newspaper Innovation. Previously, only paid publications could apply for funds for special projects or research. 

Dutch minister Ronald Plasterk, who is "responsible for the media," remains concerned about "commercial influences" on the media, a trend toward which free newspapers gravitate.

For example, Metro International has "Blunt day," in which musician James Blunt will act as editor-in-chief of Metro publications on November 17.

The Dutch Press Fund will have €1 million for support in 2009, with €2.3 million a year following. (Source: Editors Webblog)
