Billed Bladet is a Danish language weekly entertainment and royal magazine published in Copenhagen, Denmark. Being founded in 1938 it is one of the oldest magazines in the country.

History and profile

Billed Bladet was first published on 5 April 1938.[1][2] The magazine was modelled on the American magazines Life and Look.[1] Billed Bladet is part of Aller Media.[3][4] The former owner of the magazine was Den Berlingske Grupper.[5] Aller Media acquired the magazine in 1987.[1][5] It is published by Aller Press AS weekly[6][7] and has its headquarters in Copenhagen.[8][9]

During its early period Billed Bladet had a much more comprehensive coverage and included more photographs.[10] Immediately after World War II the magazine published the photographs of the Nazi concentration camps in Germany.[10] Later it began to provide news on celebrities[11][12] and royal families as well as on television programs, including Vild med dans (Denmark’s Dancing with the Stars) and X-factor (Denmark’s Got Talent).[3][13] The weekly publishes a list of Dress of the Week.[3] Its target audience is women over forty.[13]

Billed Bladet has high ethical standards in regard to the news it publishes.[12] For a long time the magazine asked the permission of the members of the Danish royal family when they would be photographed in public places.[12] Later this policy was changed and they began to be photographed based on the decision of the editorial team of the magazine.[12]

Annemette Krakau has been the editor-in-chief of Billed Bladet since 2006.[1]
