description: "Hendrik Johannes Adrianus \"Henk\" Hofland, also commonly known as H.J.A. Hofland, was a Dutch journalist, commentator, essayist, and columnist. He is often referred to as the éminence grise of Dutch journalism. In 1999 he was named Dutch \"Journalist of the century\" in a nationwide poll among his peers. He once described himself as belonging to the \"anarcho-liberal community\", though his political orientation is that of the secular center of society."
