History and profile

Borgåbladet was founded in 1860.[1] The paper, published in Swedish, was owned by a foundation, Konstsamfundet.[2] Its publisher is the KSF Media[3] which also publishes Västra Nyland and Hufvudstadsbladet. KSF Media also published Östra Nyland, Hangötidningen and Loviisan Sanomat.[4] In June 2024 Konstsamfundet announced that it is selling a major part of KSF Media to Swedish Bonnier News. Bonnier News became the majority shareholder of KSF Media with 51% of shares owned.[5] Borgåbladet was originally published five times per week[6] with its headquarters in Porvoo.[7] The circulation of Borgåbladet was 9,020 copies in 1996.[6] The paper had a circulation of 7,798 copies in 2010 and 7,523 copies in 2011.[3] In January 2015, Borgåbladet and Östra Nyland were amalgamated into the new newspaper Östnyland.[8] In April 2024 Östnyland announced that it has changed its name back to Borgåbladet.[9]
