Eskilstuna-Kuriren (the Eskilstuna Courier) is a Swedish regional newspaper, based in the city of Eskilstuna in central Sweden, with a local office in nearby Strängnäs. It is the largest regional newspaper in the Södermanland region. The first edition of Eskilstuna-Kuriren was published on December 8, 1890. It celebrated 125 years in December 2015. The paper is currently published in Berliner format, and has been published six days a week since 1915. Since the start, the paper's political position has always been liberal, with longstanding close but informal links to the Swedish Liberal Party. The editorial page was supportive of campaigns for free speech, workers' rights to unionize, male-female equality, and universal suffrage. During the 20th century, its editorials argued for free-market economic principles, typically in opposition to successive Social Democrat governments, and for restrictive policies on alcohol sales, generous foreign aid, and nonrestrictive migration policies. It took a highly critical view of totalitarian ideologies, including Communism and Fascism. More information...
