Post- och Inrikes Tidningar or PoIT (Swedish for "Post and Domestic Times") is the government newspaper and gazette of Sweden, and the country's official notification medium for announcements like bankruptcy declarations or auctions. The newspaper also carries advertising, the largest advertiser being the Swedish Patent and Registration Office.
The newspaper was founded as the Ordinari Post Tijdender (meaning "Regular Mail Times" in English) in 1645[1][3][4] by QueenChristina and ChancellorAxel Oxenstierna. The paper was published weekly during early years.[3] Nine years earlier, the royal postal agency (Kungliga Postverket) had been established and now all postmasters in the country were required to submit reports of information they heard, and the newspaper was then distributed to public notice boards throughout the country.[5] In 1791, Gustav III designated the Swedish Academy to distribute and publish the newspaper, a practice that continues today. In 1821 it merged with the Inrikes Tidningar ("Domestic Times") to form the Post- och Inrikes Tidningar.[6]
In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the leading news source in the country, but by 1922, under competition from commercial papers, it had been reduced to publishing government, corporate, and legal announcements.
As of 2000, Post- och Inrikes Tidningar is published online at , and all editions from 1771 to 1860 are available at Project Tiden.[7] The current director of the publication is Horace Engdahl, previously the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy.
