History and profile
[edit]Norrbottens-Kuriren was founded in 1861,[1] and therefore is the oldest newspaper in the region. The paper was acquired by Norrköping Tidningar AB (NTM Group) in 2000.[2] The company also owns Norrköpings Tidningar and Folkbladet among the others.[2]

In the surrounding area, Norrbottens-Kuriren has one main competitor, named Norrländska Socialdemokraten (NSD). The managing director is Sture Bergman.
