History and profile

The first issue of the newspaper was published on 1 November 1945.[1][2] Lewi Pethrus, the leader of the pentecostal movement in Sweden was its founder[2] and its chief editor until his death in 1974. During this period the paper was the organ of pentecostal movement in Sweden.[1] This lasted until the 1990s when the paper expanded its profile and changed its management structure due to financial problems.[1] In the early 2000s the paper was relaunched under the name of Nya Dagen (meaning New Dagen in English).[1]
