History and profile
Barometern was established in 1841.[2][3] The paper was published by the Tidningen Barometerns AB from 1903 to 1989.[2] Then it was published by a stock corporation, Barometern-OT AB, between 1990 and 2002.[2] In 2003 the paper merged with three newspapers, namely Blekinge Läns Tidning, Borås Tidning and Smålandsposten, to create the joint holding company Gota Media.[2][4] The company is the owner of Barometern OT[5] which is based in Kalmar.[6] Since 1963 another local paper, Oskarshamns-Tidningen, has been published as an edition of the paper.[2]
Barometern OT has been published in tabloid format since 24 April 2001.[7] Toge Forsberg served as the editor-in-chief of the paper[6] which is published six times per week.[1]
