BERLINGSKE TIDENDE

'''Berlingske Tidende''' () is a Danish daily newspaper. Founded in 1749 by Ernst Henrich Berling, it is the oldest Danish newspaper still in existence; with a circulation of about 125,000 copies on weekdays, it is also one of the "big three" broadsheet-quality newspapers in Denmark along with ''Jyllands-Posten'' and ''Politiken''. Traditionally itself broadsheet, ''Berlingske Tidende'' has been published in the tabloid/compact format since August 28, 2006.^[3]
Following a long period of ownership by the Berling family the whole Berlingske-group was acquried in 1982 by a group of investors from the Danish corporate establishment, among these Danske Bank and A.P. Møller Mærsk. This takeover saved the group from bankruptcy, a crisis situation worsened by a long strike period as well as dwindling circulation and advertising revenues. Recently, Det Berlingske Officin was acquired by the Norwegian industrial conglomerate Orkla Group in 2000 and integrated as part of Orkla Media. In 2006 Berlingske Tidende, along with the rest of Berlingske Officin and Orkla Media, was sold to the British newspaper investment group Mecom Group.
