TheGeassocieerde Pers Diensten(GPD) was aNetherlandsbasednews agency.
The predecessor of the GPD, theGemeenschappelijke Persdienstwas formed in 1936 when the directors of several regional newspapers collaborated and formed their own news agency. In this way they thought they would be able to compete with the national media. The GPD was formed in 1994 from a merger of theStichting Pers Uniewith theGemeenschappelijke Persdienst.[1]
The GPD ceased to operate on 1 January 2013 when it lost its contract to supply news with theWegenermedia company, a producer of mainly regional newspapers.[2]
