Aalborg Stiftstidende was a Danish language newspaper based in Aalborg, Denmark. The paper was published between 1767 and 1999 and is the predecessor of Nordjyske Stiftstidende.

History and profile

The paper was established by a group of priests in Aalborg in 1767.[1] Its first issue appeared on 2 January that year.[2][3] The paper was named as Nyttige og fornøyelige Jydske Efterretninger and appeared with this title until 28 December 1770.[2] It was published under different titles between 1771 and 1904 when it was renamed as Aalborg Stiftstidende.[2]

In the 20th-century it became part of the Stiftstidende dailies.[2] The other two Stiftstidende newspapers were published in Odense, Fyens Stiftstidende and in Aarhus, Århus Stiftstidende.[2]

The paper was published by Aalborg Stiftstidende A/S.[4] Aalborg Stiftstidende had no political affiliation,[5] but had a conservative political stance.[2] The paper was close to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and was a member of the Chamber.[6]

By November 1996 Aalborg Stiftstidende started its website.[7]
