Vecko-Journalen (Swedish: Weekly Record) was a weekly magazine published under various titles from 1910 to 2002.[1]

History and profile

Vecko-Journalen was founded by Erik Åkerlund in 1910. The same year he also established the publishing company Åhlén & Åkerlunds.[2] The magazine was based in Stockholm and was published on a weekly basis.[3] Among many others, Börge Bengtsson served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.[4] It was one of the Swedish publications which featured news materials provided by the Swedish Intelligence Agency during World War II.[5]

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 (Swedish: Monthly Record). It ceased publication in 2002.
