Berlingske Media

Berlingske Media is a Danish news publisher located in Copenhagen. We publish two major national daily newspapers, Berlingske and BT as well as the acclaimed national weekly Weekendavisen. These newspaper brands and their associated digital media is the core of our business. We also run a number of digital services as well as a national public service radio station, Radio24syv, and print facilities and distribution operations that support our newspapers. Berlingske Media owes its existence to Ernst Henrich Berling who, as a 23-year old printer, arrived in Copenhagen from Hamburg in 1731. Only two years later, following his marriage to his master’s daughter, Berling opened his own company, employing just one journeyman. These were the modest beginnings. Sixteen years later Berling began publication of the newspaper that we know today as Berlingske. The first issue appeared on January 3 in 1749, making Berlingske Denmarks oldest newspaper, as well as one of the worlds oldest papers still in circulation. Berlingske Media is owned by De Persgroep Publishing, who also run a number of succesful news media in Belgium and The Netherlands.
