The paper examines the Dutch media system using the classification suggested by D. Hallin and P. Mancini. According to this classification, European countries can be divided into three groups using the following criteria: newspaper industry, political parallelism, journalistic professionalization, and role of the state in media system. The analysis of the Dutch media system after depillarization process (i.e. the disappearance of society’s division into four big segments, also known as ‘pillars’ in the second half of the XX century) showed that today the Dutch media system has become close to the liberal model, although it still retains some typical features of the democratic corporatist one.
