The Belgian lifestyle media landscape in 2026

On the Flemish side, the Belgian lifestyle media landscape is carried by the magazines of Roularta and DPG: Knack Weekend and Feeling set the tone in the higher segment, Libelle and Flair reach a broad audience, and Het Laatste Nieuws' Nina brings lifestyle to the newspaper reader. The weekend magazines of De Standaard and De Morgen and De Tijd's Sabato cover interiors, travel and style for a journalistic audience.

Alongside them sits a specialist layer around interiors and travel, and the online offering is growing fast. Belgium is also a bilingual market — to reach Wallonia as well, you pitch in French to titles such as Le Vif Weekend, Gael and the French-language editions of Libelle and Flair.

Which topics Belgian lifestyle journalists pick up

The most covered themes in 2026 are wellness and mental health, sustainable and affordable living, travel closer to home and the rise of the train holiday, Belgian makers and designers, and the crossover between lifestyle and food. Product news gets picked up when it fits a trend or seasonal story, with strong imagery and a relatable narrative. Press releases without usable visuals or clear reader relevance rarely make the desk.

How to approach lifestyle journalists in Belgium effectively

Three rules work consistently.

Think in seasons

Lifestyle desks work with a seasonal calendar: summer, the holidays, new year's resolutions. Pitch your story when the desk is working on it, not when it goes live.

Pick the right language

Pitch Flemish media in Dutch and Walloon media in French. An English blast rarely works in Belgium.

Strong imagery

Interiors, travel and wellness are visual. Include high-resolution images and atmosphere photography; no pitch without usable visuals.

Well-known lifestyle journalists work at Knack Weekend, Feeling, Libelle, Nina and the weekend magazines of De Standaard and De Morgen. Presscloud tracks 190+ active lifestyle journalists in total. A complete list of names and contact details is available for accounts.

The most effective approach combines three elements: a personal opener that references the journalist's recent work, a story that fits a trend or season, and strong imagery. Pitch Flemish titles in Dutch and Walloon titles in French, by email and not via LinkedIn or phone, unless you already have an existing relationship.

Belgium is a bilingual market. Flemish lifestyle media such as Knack Weekend, Feeling and Libelle publish in Dutch and reach Flanders and Brussels. Walloon titles such as Le Vif Weekend and Gael publish in French. For national coverage you pitch in both languages, tailored to each newsroom.

Home and interiors are covered by Knack Weekend, Sabato and the newspapers' weekend magazines, complemented by specialised interior titles and online platforms. Belgian designers and makers do well: a local story behind the product raises your chances considerably.

For magazines and weekend supplements you work weeks to months ahead, especially for seasonal stories such as the holidays or summer. For online media, a few days to a week is common. Gift guides and holiday specials are often compiled as early as the summer.

Magazines such as Knack Weekend and Feeling work with long lead times and select strictly on imagery and story, but offer great authority. The newspapers' weekend magazines work closer to the news and are more receptive to current trends. A good campaign serves both layers, each with its own angle.
