Evening newspapers

Evening newspapers are sold in stores only, not by subscription, starting around 10 AM daily. They always used the tabloid format. Their history dates back to Aftonbladet, founded in 1830.

    • GT (Gothenburg), founded in 1902, acquired by Expressen in 1998
    • Kvällsposten (Malmö), founded in 1948, acquired by Expressen in 1998

Free newspapers

Free newspapers, entirely financed by advertisements, were an innovation of the 1990s. They have successfully been distributed in local public transport, such as the Stockholm subway. They always use the tabloid format.

These are distributed as morning newspapers.

  • Dagen, Christian newspaper, founded in 1945 by pentecostalist preacher Lewi Pethrus
