Dagblaðið

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dagblaðið (dt .: Das Tageblatt) is the name of an online newspaper in the Faroe Islands . In addition, there were two printed daily newspapers with the same name in the past .

history

The first Dagblaðið first appeared on July 28, 1934 and was also the first daily newspaper in the Faroe Islands. It was a politically independent paper with up-to-date reporting. The paper appeared six days a week, but was discontinued on September 1, 1934.

In the following year, 1935, the party "Vinnuflokkurin" was founded and this also gave its party newspaper the name "Dagblaðið", but this did not mean that it had more in common with the previous Dagblaðið than the name . After Vinnuflokkurin merged with part of the self-governing party Sjálvstýrisflokkurin in 1939 and thus the People's Party Fólkaflokkurin was formed, the Dagblaðið became the party organ of the People's Party.

The conservative daily, which vigorously campaigned for Faroese independence, was jointly headed from the mid-1940s to the early 1970s by two editors with equal rights, Knút Wang and Maurentius Viðstein . While Wang was a member of the conservative Fólkaflokkurin, Viðstein belonged to the social democratic Javnaðarflokkurin .

After Óli Breckmann took over the editorial office in 1975, attempts were made to modernize the paper and place more emphasis on current reporting and economic issues and less on the ties to the party. In 1977 the paper had become the second largest newspaper in the Faroe Islands. The plans could not be kept, however, and since the late 1970s Dagblaðið represented the position of the far right wing in Faroese politics. Dagblaðið got into financial difficulties during the severe economic crisis in the early 1990s and discontinued its publication in 1994. From 1997 the paper came out again for a few years, again with Óli Breckmann as director, until it was discontinued on July 1, 2003. The last print run was 1,800 copies.

From October 2015 to mid-2016 there was Dagblaðið again , but only as a network newspaper without a printed edition. Responsible were Jóhan Bech Húsgarð and Rói B. Poulsen, both members of the Fólkaflokkurin. Like its predecessor, the online newspaper was conservative.
