The Copenhagen Post is a weekly newspaper providing Danish news in English both nationally and internationally; it is the only English-language newspaper published in Denmark. Founded in November 1997 by San Shepherd, The Copenhagen Post has a weekly circulation of between 12,000 and 15,000. The current editor-in-chief is the father of the founder, Philip Shepherd.
The Copenhagen Post is engaged in editorial cooperation with national news service Ritzaus Bureau and daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten, and supplies daily news in English to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Commission, and Jyllands-Posten.
Content typically includes politics, business, education, finance, and general news. Recently additional news content has been included giving basic coverage of Sweden. Each week the paper includes a comprehensive In & Out entertainment guide, founded and managed by Thomas Dalvang Fleurquin. The newspaper carries basic advertisement primarily directed at tourists frequenting Copenhagen's central walking street, Strøget.
In addition to the weekly newspaper that can be subscribed to, obtained from news stands and found for free at certain locations such as the Copenhagen Airport, The Copenhagen Post publishes a daily (Monday to Friday) email news bulletin that can be subscribed to free of charge from the website. Hardcopy subscribers can also download a password secured PDF copy of the newspaper from the website.
The Copenhagen Post website was established in the spring of 1998 during a short national strike that made printing a hardcopy of the newspaper impossible. The Copenhagen Post website contains a searchable history of all articles ever written for the newspaper regardless of whether they were published in the printed edition.
Although founded in 1997, the first printed edition of The Copenhagen Post shipped in February 1998. Currently The Copenhagen Post is published by Ejvind Sandal and managed by Jesper Nymark.
