Stockholm City Newspaper To Be Discontinued

Despite extensive cost-savings and a reorganization, free newspaper Stockholm City has been unable to turn a profit; so, following agreements with the unions, the newspaper will be discontinued during the summer.

"We have shown results in gaining readers in Stockholm but have been unable to bring in revenues," says Daniel Frodin, publisher at Bonnier Tidskrifter and responsible for Stockholm City.

  • Icon Magazine, the New Lifestyle Magazine from Bonnier Tidskrifter

    A cross between Vanity Fair, Monocle and Di Weekend, the new magazine for men from Bonnier Tidskrifter is set for a September debut.

    Icon Magazine is the name of Bonnier Tidskrifter's new lifestyle magazine for men. The magazine will aim to attract the urban well-educated  between 30 and 50 years old. The first issue will launch on Sept. 27. "It will not be a magazine for everyone," says Daniel Frodin, publisher at Bonnier Tidskrifter who will be responsible for the magazine.

    "The primary audience will be well-educated people living in big cities, primarily men but a number of women will also certainly like it," says Frodin.

    Bonnier Tidskrifter's Misstänkt Discontinued

    The final issue of crime magazine Misstänkt (suspected) will be No. 4, 2011. Daniel Frodin explains.

    After three years, Bonnier Tidskrifter's magazine Misstänkt (suspected) will be discontinued. The final issue will be No. 4, 2011. Misstänkt focused most on Swedish crimes and legal cases, but also had articles on police methods, research, opinion pieces, panels of experts and personal profiles of victims and criminals.

    Free is good, right?

    From five days a week, to three days a week, to twice a week, to – what next? In August, Bonnier Tidskrifter took over the managing role of Stockholm City, a free newspaper plagued by recent losses. We met the publisher, Daniel Frodin, to hear his thoughts on the future of free newspapers.

    A few years ago, the so-called free newspaper war raged on the streets of Stockholm. Three newspapers under different ownership competed for the open hands and eyes of bus and subway commuters.  Metro was first on the scene in 1995, while Bonnier-owned Stockholm City, with its brigades of red-jacketed distributors, was launched in 2002. Both were published five days a week.
