The Hufvudstadsbladet [ hʉːvɵdstɑːdsblɑːdət ] (the Capital Journal) is the highest-circulation Swedish-language daily newspaper in Finland . It appears in Helsinki .
The newspaper was founded in 1864 by August Schauman; the first issue appeared on December 5th of the same year. From 1896 it was the first Finnish newspaper to be produced using the rotary printing process . In the 19th century, when Swedish was still the only official language in the Grand Duchy of Finland and also the language of the country's mostly Swedish-speaking elites , the Hufvudstadsbladet was the highest-circulation newspaper in Finland. Only with the establishment of Finnish-language newspapers such as Helsingin Sanomat and Aamulehti did the paper lose its supremacy. In 1920 Amos Valentin Anderson became the owner of the newspaper, who was also its editor-in-chief from 1928 to 1936. Since 1945 the newspaper has been owned by the Konstsamfundet Foundation (art foundation) .
The Hufvudstadsbladet is published daily today. In 2004 the paper switched from broadsheet to tabloid format . The Visio program is included with the newspaper on Tuesdays , and the Söndagsbilagan travel and culture supplement on Sundays . The average print run in 2013 was 39,662 copies. The paper is almost a subscription newspaper , 38,029 copies were distributed by subscription. The paper ranks tenth among the most widely circulated newspapers in Finland, but has a quasi-monopoly of the Swedish-speaking minority of Finland, who number around 300,000 .
