Editor-in-chief of Het Nieuwsblad Pascal Weiss (52) passed away unexpectedly

22:40 Pascal Weiss, one of the two editors-in-chief of Nieuwsblad, has died unexpectedly at the age of 52. The newspaper reported this on Wednesday.

The most unknown co-editor-in-chief of Flanders – that's how he wanted it – was the silent force behind the success of our sister newspaper het Nieuwsblad. Pascal Weiss (1972-2024) has passed away unexpectedly.

Our chief editor Pascal Weiss (52) passed away unexpectedly. For thirteen years, he formed an indestructible tandem with co-chief editor Liesbeth Van Impe. She as the face of the Nieuwsblad, he as our “little general” in the shadows. It is a loss that has knocked the ground out from under our feet.
