Vecko-Journalen


Vecko-Journalen was a weekly Swedish magazine published from 1910 to 2002.

History and profile

Vecko-Journalen was founded by Erik Åkerlund in 1906. The same year he also established the publishing company Åhlén & Åkerlunds. The magazine was based in Stockholm and was published on a weekly basis. Gunny Widell served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
It was published weekly from 1910 to 1963 when it merged with the magazine Idun and took the Double-barrelled name Idun-Veckojournalen. The merged magazine continued to be published weekly until 1980, when falling circulation figures forced it to a monthly cycle, and it was renamed Månadsjournalen. It ceased publication in 2002.
