History and profile

Norrbottens-Kuriren was founded in 1861,[1] and therefore is the oldest newspaper in the region. The paper was acquired by Norrköping Tidningar AB (NTM Group) in 2000.[2] The company also owns Norrköpings Tidningar and Folkbladet among the others.[2]

Norrbottens-Kuriren is published in Berliner format.[3] One of the paper's staff journalists were convicted of involvement in the political assassination attempt in 1940 against the rival left-wing newspaper Norrskensflamman, in which five people died. In the surrounding area, Norrbottens-Kuriren has one main competitor, named Norrländska Socialdemokraten (NSD). The managing director is Sture Bergman.

In 1996 the circulation of Norrbottens-Kuriren was 30,700 copies.[1] In 2005, the paper had 27,600 readers. The paper had a circulation of 19,600 copies in 2010.[4]
