Het Belfort
''DW B'' is the oldest literary magazine in Flanders that is still in print. It was first published as ''Dietsche Warande en Belfort'', co-founded by Marie-Elisabeth Belpaire, as a merger between two earlier literary magazines, ''Dietsche Warande'' and ''Het Belfort''. ''Dietsche Warande'' had been established in the Netherlands in 1855 by Joseph Albert Alberdingk Thijm, whose brother Paul had moved it to Flanders in 1887. ''Het Belfort'' was founded in 1886 by Jan Bols. The goal for the foundation of these magazines was to provide a forum for (Dutch-language) Flemish authors, who until then rarely published in Dutch magazines; especially Catholic and West-Flemish authors did not feel at home in the Dutch literary milieu of the nineteenth century. DW B is based in Brussels Brussels (french: Bruxelles or ; nl, Brussel ), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (All text and all but one graphic show the English name as Brussels-Capital Region.)

Magazines Established In 1886
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus '' Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''.
