Kristeligt Dagblad is a Danish newspaper published in Copenhagen, Denmark.

History and profile

Kristeligt Dagblad was established in 1896.[1][2] It was an initiative of the Lutheran Inner Mission created to oppose radicalism and atheism.[3] The paper is owned by Kristeligt Dagblad A/S and is based in Copenhagen.[1][2][4] It is published six times per week from Monday to Saturday.[2][5]

Initially Kristeligt Dagblad was an Evangelical newspaper.[6] The paper was apolitical, publishing articles on religious and moral topics as well as on cultural topics.[6] In 1909 it published anti-evolutionary articles, strongly opposing to the views of Charles Darwin.[6] From 1914 the paper took a wider approach and in 1935 broke away from the Inner Mission, presenting general news but without any political association. It gained popularity under the leadership of Gunnar Helweg-Larsen, but lost ground in the 1950s. From 1950 it adopted a new approach, adopting a more lively style with more emphasis on foreign news. The paper does not have any sports section and covers sports-related news occasionally.[7]

The editor of Kristeligt Dagblad is Erik Bjerager.[8]

In 1908 Kristeligt Dagblad sold 8,000 copies.[6] During the last six months of 1957 the paper had a circulation of 16,582 copies on weekdays.[9]
