History and profile
Borås Tidning was established as the Borås Weckoblad on 1 September 1826.[1][2][3] The paper has its headquarters in Borås.[4] It had two predecessors, Borås Weckoblad (1826–1833) and Borås Nya Tidning (1834–1838). From 1898 to 2003 Borås Tidning was published by a stock corporation, AB Borås Tidning.[4] In 2003 the paper merged with three newspapers, namely Blekinge Läns Tidning, Barometern and Smålandsposten, to create the joint holding company Gota Media.[5] Borås Tidning is owned by Gota Media AB[6] and has Stefan Eklund as the chief editor.
Borås Tidning was published in broadsheet format until Spring 2005 when it switched to tabloid format.[7][8] From 1967 to 2011, the paper included a weekly Finnish language page but it was discontinued because it lost its functionality as reported by the publisher.[9] It has a politically conservative leaning.[2][4]
