KF sells Tidningen Vi - after over 100 years

The magazine Vi is changing hands. Story House Egmont is buying the longstanding cultural magazine from the Swedish Cooperative Association (KF), which founded it in 1913.

Under the deal, Story House Egmont buys the KF-owned publishing house Vi Kultur & Litteratur, which publishes the magazine Vi and its sister publication Vi Läser.

Maria Hamrefors, chairwoman of Vi Kultur & Litteratur, describes the sale as part of a streamlining of KF's operations.

"We believe that this is the best solution for Vi Kultur & Litteratur's continued development," she says in a press release.

The magazine Vi was founded as Konsumentbladet in 1913 and received its current name in 1937. During its heyday in the 1940s, Vi was a broad family magazine with a peak circulation of almost 700,000 copies.
