Berlingske

The Berlingske is the oldest still published Danish newspaper. It was founded by Ernst Heinrich Berling and published for the first time on January 3, 1749 in Copenhagen under the title Kjøbenhavnske Danske post Tidender. The newspaper is attributable to the liberal- conservative spectrum and the Conservative party, and belongs to the Danish media company Berlingske Media, part of Mecom Group.

In its history, the newspaper was renamed several times: 1808 in Danske Statstidende, 1833 in Berlingske Politiske above Avertissementstidende, Berlingske Tidende in 1936 and since 26 January 2011, it appears under the name Berlingske.

While the newspaper in 1948 still a daily circulation of 190,000 (Sunday Edition: 226,000 ) reached, their number went up to 2011, to around 100,000 copies. This represented the second-highest circulation of all daily newspapers in Denmark behind Jyllands-Posten.
