History and profile

Hallandsposten was established in 1850.[2] The first issue appeared on 30 July 1850.[3] The paper became daily in 1900, before that it was printed two times a week. One of the editors of the paper was Eric Hägge who served in the post in the early 1940s.[4]

Hallandsposten is part of the Mediebolaget Västkusten, MBVK, which also owns Hallands Nyheter.[3] Hallandsposten was published in broadsheet format until 2007 when it switched to tabloid format.[5] The paper has an independent liberal leaning.[3]

Hallandsposten was the first newspaper in Sweden to make old prints available to the public.[6] The newspaper has digitalised all print editions since 1931.[7] They are scanned, OCR-processed and available to the public.[8] [9] Older prints were excluded because original quality was too low to OCR-process.
