History
The Copenhagen Post was founded in 1997 by British journalist and entrepreneur San Shepherd to meet a growing need for English-language news about Denmark. Initially launched as a weekly print edition, it later expanded with a digital-first strategy in the 2000s and was owned for many years by Danish attorney and former Chair of major Danish publisher JP/Politikens Hus, Ejvind Sandal.

Why this record matters
“The Copenhagen Post” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Copenhagen, Post and Danish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3643910. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 1997.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
