Aarhus Amtstidende was a newspaper which was published in Aarhus between 1866 and 1965. During its long existence it adopted various political stances. It was started as a leftist publication, but then it became affiliated with the Venstre party.

History and profile

The first issue of Aarhus Amtstidende was published on 1 October 1866. [1] [2] Its founders were Lars Bjørnbak, a leftist figure, and JCN Wistoft, a merchant. [3] [4] The reason for the establishment of the paper was Lars Bjørnbak's opposition to the constitutional revision carried out in the same year. [4] Bertel Jensen was the editor of the paper. [4] During its early years the paper was a leftist and polemical publication and defended the interests of the masses. [3] [4] Therefore, it gained popularity among rural people. [4] Its rival was the conservative newspaper Århus Stiftstidende . [4] In the 1890s, Aarhus Amtstidende became more versatile, but it again adopted its polemical style in the 1920s. [3] This polemical stance led to a decrease in its circulation. [3]

Later the paper became affiliated with Venstre party and had a classical liberal political stance. [1] Its long term editor-in-chief was Jakob Peder Martin who held the post from 1928 to its closure in 1965. [5]

Aarhus Amtstidende sold 11,171 copies in 1961. [1] The paper folded on 11 November 1965 when it merged with Grenaa Folketidende. [2] [3]
