From its start in 1880 to 1908 Skive Folkeblad was affiliated with the Venstre party and adopted a classical liberal stance.[3] From 1908 it became close to the Radikale Venstre party adopting a social liberal stance.[3] During the 1950s under the Cold War conditions it was one of the Danish publications which expressed negative neutralism which was similar to German nihilism.[4]
Skive Folkeblad was an independent newspaper until September 2020 when the Mediehuset Herning Folkeblad acquired the paper which also owns other local newspapers, including Herning Folkeblad and Midtjyllands Avis.[5] As of 2021 Ole Dall was the editor-in-chief of Skive Folkeblad.[6]
In February 2021 Skive Folkeblad was redesigned, and its content was expanded.[6] The paper also began to publish weekly supplements.[6]
Circulation
In its first year Skive Folkeblad sold just 500 copies.[3] Then its circulation gradually increased. It was 2,800 copies in 1901 and 7,000 copies in 1933.[3] The circulation of the paper was 10,100 copies in 1953, 13,300 copies in 1973 and 13,800 in 1993.[3] It had a circulation of 12,300 copies in 2005.[3]
