History

Although founded in 1997, the first printed edition of The Copenhagen Post shipped in February 1998. Since the year 2000, The Copenhagen Post has been published by Ejvind Sandal. In 2002, Jesper Nymark stepped in as CEO.

Content

The Copenhagen Post has been engaged in editorial cooperations with national news service Ritzaus Bureau and daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten, as well as supplying daily news in English to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Commission, and Jyllands-Posten.

Content typically includes politics, business, education, finance, and general news. Each week the paper includes a comprehensive In & Out entertainment guide [1], founded in May 1998 by Thomas Dalvang Fleurquin (Guide Editor 1998-2008).

In addition to the weekly newspaper that can be subscribed to, The Copenhagen Post can be bought at newsstands and found for free at certain locations such as the Copenhagen Airport. Hardcopy subscribers can also download a password secured PDF copy of the newspaper from the website.

Online news archive

The Copenhagen Post website was established in the spring of 1998 during a short national strike that made printing a hardcopy of the newspaper impossible. The Copenhagen Post website contains a searchable history of all articles ever written for the newspaper - regardless of whether they were published in the printed edition. This makes www.cphpost.dk the largest English-language database in the world for recent Danish news and events (since Spring 1998).
