History and profile
Norrbottens-Kuriren was founded in 1861, and therefore is the oldest newspaper in the region. The paper was acquired by Norrköping Tidningar AB (NTM Group) in 2000.[1] The company also owns Norrköpings Tidningar and Folkbladet among the others.[1]
Norrbottens-Kuriren is published in Berliner format.[2] 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 2005, Norrbottens-Kuriren had 27,600 readers. The paper had a circulation of 19,600 copies in 2010.[3]
