VRT NWS Journaal (formerly Het Journaal) is the main news program of the VRT, broadcast daily on the channels VRT 1 and VRT Canvas.

The first edition of Het Journaal was broadcast on 31 October 1953, the day that Flemish television began. Initially, Het Journaal was a small operation, with few staff; nowadays, there are dozens of journalists, and many other employees, such as directors, producers and technicians.
