Borås Tidning is a Swedish language daily newspaper published in Borås, Sweden.

History and profile

Borås Tidning was established in 1838.[1][2] The paper has its headquarters in Borås.[3] It had two predecessors, Borås Weckoblad (1826–1833) and Borås Nya Tidning (1834–1838). From 1898 to 2003 Borås Tidning was published by a stock corporation, AB Borås Tidning.[3] In 2003 the paper merged with three newspapers, namely Blekinge Läns Tidning, Barometern and Smålandsposten, to create the joint holding company Gota Media.[4] Borås Tidning is owned by Gota Media AB[5] and has Stefan Eklund as chief editor.

Borås Tidning was published in broadsheet format until Spring 2005 when it switched to tabloid format.[6][7] The paper included a weekly Finnish language page from 1967 to 2011 when it discontinued due to losing its functionality as reported by the publisher.[8] It has a politically conservative leaning.[1][3]

Circulation

In 2003 Borås Tidning had a circulation of 50,100 copies.[9] The circulation of the paper was 45,200 copies in 2010.[2] It was 43,000 copies in 2012 and 41,300 copies in 2013.[10]
