Het Nieuws van den Dag voor Nederlandsch-Indië was a Dutch-language newspaper published on the island of Java in the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia). Originally called De Indische Courant (one of a number of papers with that name), it was published in Batavia from 1895^[1] or 1896 to 1900^[2] until it was renamed.^[3] One of the paper's contributors was Dutch author and critic of the colonial system Multatuli.^[4]

The paper was known as conservative, and editorialized vehemently against the emancipation of the native people. Its editor in chief during the 1920s was K.W. Wybrands, who put such a personal stamp on the paper that it was also known as Wybrands' paper.^[5] In 1938, Willem Belonje became the editor in chief of the paper; he had earlier run De Indische Courant, in the 1920s. The paper was closed in 1942 by the Japanese occupying forces.^[1] In the early 1930s the paper had a circulation of six to nine thousand, but had dropped to between three and six thousand the next decade.^[5]
