History
editAjax-nieuws was established in 1917 by association football club AFC Ajax to provide a monthly magazine surrounding the Dutch club under then chairman Willem Egeman. The first issue of the magazine appeared in 1917 and had a photograph of the team on the cover. The magazine would go on to appear with 12 issues a year for 70 years before shutting down operations following the 1986/87 season. The magazine was briefly put on hold during both World War I and World War II, when it was illegal to print, but the publication resumed soon after.[2] Every 10 years the club would publish a special anniversary edition of the magazine, with additional pages highlighting the events of the decade circulating around the club.[3][4]
