history
It was founded in 1946 as the first free German-language newspaper in Western Europe - with a weekly publication. Since 1951, Der Nordschleswiger has been the mouthpiece for the German minority in Denmark as a daily newspaper.
The newspaper had a circulation of 1,500 copies in the first half of 2019. Although it is the smallest daily newspaper in Denmark, it has received a lot of attention from the Danish media and the Danish public. The newspaper has not only made a name for itself as a local and regional newspaper for North Schleswig , but also as a source on minority issues and German politics that is often quoted by the Danish-language press .
Gwyn Nissen has been the editor-in-chief of the newspaper since July 1, 2013. He replaced Siegfried Matlok .
The newspaper is a member of MIDAS (European Association of Daily Newspapers in Minority and Regional Languages).
Since 2008 there has been a cooperation with Flensborg Avis and the Schleswig-Holstein newspaper publisher , to which the Flensburger Tageblatt belongs. The collaboration initially only consisted of copying a few articles from the other newspapers, if necessary also in translated form. In 2013, the collaboration was expanded to include the largest Danish-language daily newspaper in southern Denmark, JydskeVestkysten . Since then, the four editorial teams have been able to access the digital editorial systems of all partner editorial offices at any time. Since 2014, the editorial offices of JydskeVestkysten and Nordschleswiger have also been located in a joint media company in Aabenraa, and the local editorial offices in Hadersleben and Sonderburg are also housed in shared offices.
The Nordschleswiger is an almost pure subscription newspaper . In addition to the newspaper, the Nordschleswiger editorial team produces two German-language radio news programs on working days, which are broadcast terrestrially at Skala FM in Nordschleswig and on the Internet via various local stations, including from northern Schleswig-Holstein. The Nordschleswiger website, nordschleswiger.dk , is not editorially independent of the newspaper editorial team, but publishes news independently every day from early morning to late evening. For users of smartphones and tablet PCs is a free willing, on among other things the "e-paper" called e-paper can be accessed.
As the number of subscribers fell to around 1,500 by 2018, while the number of online users increased sharply, the plan is to discontinue the paper edition of the newspaper by February 2021 at the latest. The expenditure for the sheet with an annual subsidy of 18 million crowns , of which 5 million from the state, means a subsidy of around 18,000 crowns for each subscription annually.
