History and profile

Skånska Dagbladet headquarters in Malmö

Skånska Dagbladet was established in 1888, and its headquarters is in Malmö.[1][2] The Skånska Dagbladet AB is the publisher of Skånska Dagbladet.[3] During the initial period the paper had four pages with six columns each.[4] In the first quarter of the century the paper was acquired by the Agrarian Party.[4]

Skånska Dagbladet is close to the Centre Party.[5] The paper is published in tabloid format.[6]

Circulation

At the beginning of the twentieth century its circulation expanded, being one-twentieth of the entire Swedish daily newspaper circulation.[4] In the mid-1930s Skånska Dagbladet managed to sell more copies than the other Malmö papers Arbetet and Sydsvenska Dagbladet.[7] However, it lost its position towards the mid-1950s.[7]

In 2002 Skånska Dagbladet was the eighth best-selling newspaper with a circulation of 43,600 copies.[8] It was the eighth largest newspaper in Sweden in terms of readership in 2009.[9]
