Wishing readers, clients, friends,

with a world of thanks for our time together in 2019 - Happy New Year and all the best for 2020! 

  • Happy New Year and all the best for 2020!
  • The year 2020 marks Nordstjernan's 148th year of continuous publishing for the Scandinavian American communities in the United States.

  • 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.
