Nordjyske is a daily regional newspaper published in the North Jutland Region of Denmark. It is Denmark's second-oldest newspaper.
The newspaper was founded in 1767[1] as Nyttige og fornøyelige Jydske Efterretninger. In 1827, it merged with Aalborg's second newspaper Aalborgs Stifts Adresse-Avis. The paper was known as Aalborg Stiftstidende until 1999, when it was rebranded to Nordjyske Stiftstidende to create a broader geographical appeal. In 2017 the name was shortened to just Nordjyske.
The publisher of Nordjyske is the Det Nordjyske Mediehus.[2] The paper is published in broadsheet format.[3] It has no political affiliation and has a liberal stance.[1][4] The paper was also described as having a right-wing tradition in a 2006 study.[5]
Nordjyske Stiftstidende has its headquarters in Aalborg.[4] The paper now serves the whole of Vendsyssel and most of Himmerland and has local editions in Aalborg, Hjørring, Hobro, Frederikshavn, Fjerritslev, Skagen and Brønderslev.[6]
Nordjyske had a circulation of 82,000 copies on weekdays and 98,000 copies on Sundays in the first quarter of 2000, making it one of the top 20 newspapers in the country.[7] The circulation of the paper was 83,000 copies in 2002.[3] In 2003 the paper had a circulation of 82,000 copies on weekdays and 94,000 copies on Sundays.[4] Its circulation was 74,000 copies in 2004.[8] The 2005 circulation of the paper was 69,000 copies on weekdays and 80,000 copies on Sundays.[1] Its circulation was 62,075 copies in 2006.[9]
