History and profile

JydskeVestkysten was first published on 15 January 1991 [1] as a result of the merge between Vestkysten, which was founded in 1917, and Jydske Tidende. [2] The paper is based in Esbjerg. [3] [4]

The Berlingske Media, a subsidiary of first Orkla Media and then, of Mecom, [5] had 50% share in the paper. [6] [7] The other owner was the Den Sydvestjyske Venstrepresse company. [8] [9] Syddanske Medier acquired 100% of the paper on 15 September 2013. [6] The publisher of the paper is Jydske Vestkysten A/S. [10] [11]

JydskeVestkysten is published in broadsheet format. [11] In 1993 another local daily Kolding Folkeblad merged with the paper, allowing the paper to cover both western and southern Jutland. [1]

The European Parliament described JydskeVestkysten as a liberal newspaper in 1998. [12] It is also stated by the owner of the paper, indicating that the paper has no political affiliation. [1] However, the Danish ministry of foreign affairs regards paper as holding independent conservative views. [4] In a 2006 study it was described as a right-wing newspaper. [13]
