11.01.2026 โ‡ข The Day of the Black Ice Code Orange
โŒจOn January 11, Dutch editors prioritized a domestic safety crisis that evolved from a missing person search into a logistical paralysis caused by extreme weather. The morning was dominated by an Amber Alert for 10-year-old Wendy in Rotterdam. By midday, reporting shifted to the successful recovery of the girl and the arrest of a suspect, alongside the tragic news of an 8-year-old boy, Calvin, who died after falling through ice.
In the afternoon, the editorial focus transitioned toward the 'code orange' weather emergency. Major outlets like RTL Nieuws and NOS reported on the total suspension of regional bus services and school closures in northern provinces due to treacherous black ice. Internationally, quality papers like NRC and de Volkskrant shifted from the Greenland annexation dispute to the escalating human cost of the Iranian uprising, highlighting reports that the death toll surpassed 500, while also scrutinizing the fall of Aleppo to Syrian government forces.
