Weekendavisen was launched in 1969 to replace Berlingske Aftenavis, an evening paper. The aim was to publish background articles on culture and literature written with a love for language and detail. In 1972 the newspaper was given its current name and developed its own unique profile, covering culture for educated readers. Its content focuses on society, culture, books and ideas. The content is also available in audio format at lydavisen.dk. Countering the general downwards trend, Weekendavisen continues to gain readers.
