Dutch broadcaster NOS is removing its logo from its TV vans after a series of incidents in which its employees were harassed, verbally assaulted, and had things thrown at them. The broadcaster has also been sending security guards with its reporters to public events for some time.

Almost every day NOS journalists and technicians who are on the road are confronted with rude hand gestures, verbal abuse, garbage being thrown at them, or being cut off by other cars on the road, the broadcaster said. There has been at least one incident of a person urinating against the NOS van.
