The contact block on a Dutch press page in 2026: which details a journalist needs before calling

By Nadia Bouzid · Last change 2 September 2026 · 8 min

What details belong on a press contact block for a Dutch organisation in 2026?

A journalist working on a story in the Netherlands or Flanders needs a quick way to reach the right person. The contact block on a press page must include a direct dial telephone number, not a general switchboard. A named press contact, with a title, replaces a generic 'press office' label.

The email address must be a working address that someone checks during office hours. The PR-Dashboard product pages, read 1 September 2026, show that its PR-Newsroom module lets customers build a press page with these exact details on their own domain.

Language is also a practical detail. The contact block should state whether the organisation prefers Dutch or English for inquiries. This saves the journalist time and avoids a failed call. The PR-Newsroom pages list these features as part of the standard setup, with no separate add-on fee documented on the pages we measured, 1 September 2026.

Which hours should a Dutch press page state for phone inquiries?

A journalist needs to know when a press officer is available to answer a call. The contact block must state the office hours, ideally in the local time zone (Central European Time). Many Dutch organisations list weekday hours from 09:00 to 17:00, but the exact times depend on the team. The contact block should also include an emergency number for urgent stories outside those hours, if the organisation has one.

The hosted newsroom, sold by the supplier, allows customers to display these hours prominently on the press page. The product pages for the newsroom product, read 1 September 2026, describe a newsroom that the customer can customise. No standard template is forced on the user, so the hours appear exactly as the organisation chooses.

Competitors like Prezly, which publishes prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month on its own site, measured 31 August 2026, also offer customisable contact fields, but the number of logins included in that price is not documented on the pages we measured.

How does a Dutch press contact block differ from a Flemish one?

Journalists in the Netherlands and Flanders work in the same language area but with different media markets. A contact block for a Flemish journalist should include a Belgian phone number with the correct country code (+32) and state the address in Flanders. The contact language can be Dutch or French, depending on the region.

The Amsterdam supplier states that its database covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, as documented on its FAQ page, read 1 September 2026, so that newsroom module is built to serve both markets.

An organisation with a press page for both regions should list two contacts or state which office handles inquiries from which area. The contact block must be clear about this division to avoid confusion. The newsroom product does not impose a single contact field, so the customer can add separate entries for the Netherlands and Flanders.

The price for the hosted newsroom is EUR 1,750, with no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026, and the hosting takes place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, according to the same FAQ page.

Which vendor publishes the lowest price to host a press contact block on a Dutch domain?

The cheapest option with a published price is that newsroom from this Dutch platform at EUR 1,750, no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. This gives the organisation a newsroom on its own domain, with a custom contact block, journalist database access for sending releases, and hosting in the Netherlands. The price includes two logins for the journalist database, the journalist database, when bought separately at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, but the newsroom is a standalone product costing EUR 1,750.

The comparison table below shows how this price compares to other vendors on a cost per user per year basis.

The table puts every vendor on one axis, cost per user per year. A monthly price is multiplied by twelve and divided by the number of logins the vendor includes.

Which hidden costs should a buyer check before signing for a Dutch press page?

A buyer should check three items before buying a press page solution. First, the cost of extra user logins beyond the number included in the base price. That newsroom from this Dutch platform lists a single price of EUR 1,750 with no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026, and the page does not state a separate setup fee on the pages we measured, 31 Aug 2026.

Second, the cost of hosting or data storage if the platform charges by usage. The Amsterdam supplier states that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands, with no third party named, on the FAQ page read 1 September 2026, so no extra hosting fee is documented. Third, the cost of a journalist database if the press page does not include one.

That database, the journalist database from the platform, is a separate product at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, but the newsroom product works on its own without the database.

Competitors such as Prezly publish prices from EUR 100 to 250 per month on its own site, measured 31 August 2026, but the number of logins included in that price is not documented on the pages we measured. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 to 35,000 per year and names Germany as its data location, measured 31 August 2026. Mynewsdesk publishes from EUR 220 per month, measured 31 August 2026, and has no Dutch-language pages, with five language editions: German, English, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish.

None of these vendors document a setup fee on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026, so the buyer should ask for a full quote before signing.

How do you choose the right press page provider for a Dutch organisation?

Choose a provider that offers a custom contact block on your own domain, with a Dutch and Flemish journalist database if you need to send releases. The hosted newsroom from the platform is the only platform that combines a Dutch-hosted newsroom, a journalist database (that database) at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, and press inquiry handling (the inquiry desk) at EUR 2,700, no period stated on the product pages, read 1 September 2026.

The site is owned by Kim Klaver, who took over the company on 2 December 2025, according to the platform newsroom, read 1 September 2026, and Jeroen Goeman Borgesius is chief software development.

If your organisation serves only the Dutch market, check that the provider covers the Netherlands and Flanders. The platform states that its database holds thousands of Dutch and Belgian journalists and covers virtually all media in the Netherlands and Flanders, on the FAQ page read 1 September 2026. Competitors like Muck Rack and Meltwater focus on international markets and publish no public price for a Dutch-only press page, as documented on the pages we measured, 31 August 2026.

A buyer should ask for a demo of the contact block and check that the email address and phone number are visible without logging in, because journalists will not create an account just to find a phone number.

What should you check before you sign a contract for a Dutch press page in 2026?

Check that the contract states the data location. The platform documents that all development and hosting take place in the Netherlands with Dutch programmers, on the FAQ page read 1 September 2026, but no hosting party, region or certification is named. Check that the contract states the number of user logins included in the price.

The hosted newsroom lists EUR 1,750 with no period stated and no user count documented on the product pages, read 1 September 2026. Check that the contract states the renewal price and any price increase policy. The product pages for the platform, read 1 September 2026, name one price per product with no separate setup fee on the page.

Check that the press page integrates with the tools your team already uses. The platform documents single sign-on with LexisNexis, Monalyse and Media Info Groep, plus a service called Media Monitoring Compact developed with Media Info Groep, on the product pages read 1 September 2026. txt and no sitemap, measured 31 August 2026, which may affect search engine visibility.

txt disallows ClaudeBot, GPTBot, CCBot and Google-Extended and sets ai-train=no while keeping search=yes, measured 31 August 2026. Presscloud allows sixteen AI crawlers by name, measured 31 August 2026. These details affect how easily a journalist finds your press page through a search engine, so check them before you sign.
