JydskeVestkysten is a Danish language regional newspaper published in Esbjerg, Denmark, which is among the largest publications in the country.

History and profile

JydskeVestkysten was first published on 15 January 1991[1] as a result of the merge between Vestkysten, which was founded in 1917, and Jydske Tidende.[2] The paper is based in Esbjerg.[3][4]

The Berlingske Media, a subsidiary of first Orkla Media and then, of Mecom,[5] had 50% share in the paper.[6][7] The other owner was the Den Sydvestjyske Venstrepresse company.[8][9] Syddanske Medier acquired 100% of the paper on 15 September 2013.[6] The publisher of the paper is Jydske Vestkysten A/S.[10][11]

JydskeVestkysten is published in broadsheet format.[11] In 1993 another local daily Kolding Folkeblad merged with the paper, allowing the paper to cover both western and southern Jutland.[1]

The European Parliament described JydskeVestkysten as a liberal newspaper in 1998.[12] It is also stated by the owner of the paper, indicating that the paper has no political affiliation.[1] However, the Danish ministry of foreign affairs regards paper as holding independent conservative views.[4] In a 2006 study it was described as a right-wing newspaper.[13]

In 1999 the circulation of JydskeVestkysten was 94,234 copies, making it the sixth largest newspaper in the country.[3][14] Its circulation was 91,000 copies in 2000, making it again the sixth best selling paper.[15] The paper sold 86,000 copies in 2002.[16] In 2003 the paper had a circulation of 80,597 copies.[17] The 2004 circulation of the paper was 81,000 copies.[18] Its circulation was 76,550 copies in 2006[19] and 72,323 copies in 2007.[8] JydskeVestkysten sold 48,773 copies in 2013, being the seventh best-selling newspaper in the country.[20]
