  • These apps were released by one of America's most successful classic ethnic publishers, Swedish News, Inc., producers of Nordic Reach magazine and the Nordstjernan newspaper. What started as a source of news and community for the Scandinavian immigrants in America in 1872, is now the oldest continuously published ethnic newspaper of the Swedish American community; Nordstjernan has been adaptable and in tune with its readership, which over the decades (and centuries) has added many generations of Swedish Americans; it's not surprising that behind the success of the newspaper is its stalwart, faithful and innovative Swedish-ness. Nordstjernan hasn't just survived, it's thrived.

  • In the words of Kenneth T. Jackson, professor of history at Columbia University and editor-in-chief of The Encyclopedia of New York City, "Over the past century and a half, more newspapers were published in New York than in any other city in the world, in large part because of the huge foreign-born community and the variety of publications that the different ethnic groups spawned. Most had a brief and almost ephemeral life, but Nordstjernan has been remarkable for its long life and high quality. It not only helped Swedish immigrants adjust to life in a new world and a giant city, but it set a standard that other newspapers worked hard to emulate."
