Donald Duck
Donald Duck has been around since 1952; entire generations have grown up with this cheerful weekly magazine. The unique success formula has hardly been changed throughout the years and still strikes a positive chord with the target group. Donald Duck is the biggest youth and children’s magazine in the Netherlands and its reach within the target group of 8 to 14 is as much as 35%. This is not surprising, as the funny, thrilling adventure stories with the renowned Disney quality continue to enthral readers. The weekly Donald Duck doesn’t pass over the educational elements and trends that appeal to its youthful readers. However, it gives priority to amusing its readers, without overlooking the parents’ sense of humour, either.
