Hemmets Journal (English: Journal of the Home) is a Swedish family magazine published by Egmont.[1] It was the second largest weekly magazine in Sweden in 2009.[2]

History and profile[edit]

The first issue of Hemmets Journal was published in 1921.[3] It was a Swedish version of the popular Danish magazine Hjemmet that was first published in 1904. Hjemmet was printed by the Danish publishing company Gutenberghus (which later became Egmont) and the Swedish version was published by its own subsidiary of Gutenberghus, Hemmets Journals Förlag.

The editor-in-chief is Janne Walles, who has held that position since 1990. As of 2008, there are approximately 40 employees working on Hemmets Journal. The magazine's head office has been located in Västra hamnen, a city district in Malmö, since 2005. It was previously located in Kirseberg, also in Malmö.[4]

Statistics have shown that the average readers of Hemmets Journal are 56-year-old women living in smaller cities across Sweden.[4] Features in the magazine include editorials,[5] interviews,[6] fashion reports,[7] crosswords,[8] poetry,[9] horoscopes,[10] and recipes.[11]
