Stockholms-Tidningen was established by Anders Jeurling in 1889. [2] [3] [4] The paper was based in Stockholm. [3] During its early stage, it had three editions: morning edition, evening edition and provincial edition. [5] However, in 1890 only two editions continued. [5]

In order to gain larger readership, the price of Stockholms-Tidningen was kept low, and its content included popular and concentrated news. [2] The paper sold 10,000 copies in 1890 and 42,000 copies in 1894. [6] It achieved a daily circulation of more than 100,000 copies in 1900, [6] becoming the first Swedish newspaper which exceeded that amount of circulation. [4] [7] It was also the first mass-circulation newspaper in the country. [8] [9] The paper kept its high circulation levels in the 1920s. [6]

On 19 September 1931, Stockholms Dagblad merged with Stockholms-Tidningen. [10] The paper along with Stockholms Dagblad, Svenska Dagbladet and Aftonbladet was purchased by Torsten Kreuger. [11] Therefore, he became the owner of Stockholms-Tidningen and Aftonbladet in 1932. [11] Both papers supported the Liberal Party under the ownership of Kreuger [5] until 1956 when he sold them to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation. [2] [11] [12]

Upon the ownership change Stockholms-Tidningen became a supporter of social democratic stance. [2] [13] E. B. Rinman, Sven O. Andersson and Anders Johansson are among the former editors-in-chief of the daily. [13] [14] Else Kleen published fashion-related articles in the paper from the 1910s to the 1950s under the pen name of Gwen. [15] [16] Her articles were featured in the Sunday supplement of the paper. [16] The paper also contained frequent film reviews. [17]

Victor Vinde, editor-in-chief of the paper, was fired in 1965. [12] In 1966, just before its first closure, Stockholms-Tidningen switched its format to tabloid to increase its circulation, and Gunnar Fredriksson was appointed the editor-in-chief. [5] However, these changes did not work, and the paper ceased publication on 27 February 1966. [18] [19] [20]

In October 1981 Stockholms-Tidningen was relaunched and was owned by the Social Democratic Party. [21] However, it was closed down in 1984.
