Belgian journalist and newsreader Martine Tanghe passed away on Sunday at the age of 67, the VRT. Tanghe died of cancer.
Tanghe was one of the prominent faces of for more than forty years The news on the Flemish public broadcaster. Just before her 23rd birthday, she joined the then BRT. Tanghe soon became the second woman in Belgium to be a newsreader for the news.
The journalist was often praised for her correct use of Dutch language. For years she also read it together with Philip Freriks Great Dictation of the Dutch Language for.
In 2011 and 2012, Tanghe was not seen on television for some time after she had surgery for breast cancer. Then Tanghe returned again, until she retired in December 2020.
The newsreader was appointed Commander in the Order of the Crown by the Belgian King Philippe two days ago. Tanghe called that at the time VRT “an acknowledgment of the work that I enjoyed doing so much for many years. The fact that the way I did it was appreciated by many people, and apparently also by the king, is a warm thought.”
