Weekendavisen is a Danish weekly newspaper based in Copenhagen that appears every Friday across the country. With a circulation of around 52,600 copies per week (as of the 2nd half of 2010), the newspaper performs an important function as a forum for the social and cultural debate in the country. Politically, it is to be assigned to the bourgeois camp and classified pro-European. The publishing house is the media company Berlingske Media , which also publishes other large Danish newspapers such as Berlingske .

Weekendavisen is a direct successor to the Kjøbenhavnske Danske Post-Tidender from 1749 and developed from the later evening paper Berlingske Aftenavis . After Post Danmark abolished afternoon delivery in 1968, the daily newspaper was discontinued in 1971 . Only the publication of the weekend edition of Berlingske Aftenavis was continued and since 1972 the paper has been published under the title Weekendavisen . In the early years his focus was on background reporting and comments on political and cultural topics. In the late 1980s, the character of the newspaper shifted from a news magazine to a journalistic profile that analyzes national and international events. The intention is therefore to address more of an educational level that shows an interest in international relations as well as social and cultural issues.

An edition of the Weekendavisen is divided into the five sections Samfund (society), Culture , Bøger (books), Ideer (innovations from the research area) and Faktisk (for children).

Since 1980, the newspaper is determined annually by the readers who the 100,000 DKR winning Weekendavisens litteraturpris gets awarded. Before that, the editors nominate ten Danish-language books that come from both specialist and fine literature .
