It is published six times per week from Monday to Saturday.Initially, Kristeligt Dagblad was an Evangelical newspaper. The paper was apolitical, publishing articles on religious and moral topics as well as on cultural topics. In 1909, it published anti-evolutionary articles, strongly opposing the views of Charles Darwin. From 1914, the paper took a wider approach and in 1935 broke away from the Inner Mission, presenting general news but without any political association. It gained popularity under the leadership of Gunnar Helweg-Larsen, but lost ground in the 1950s. From 1950, it adopted a new approach, adopting a more lively style with more emphasis on foreign news. The paper does not have any sports section and covers sports-related news occasionally.BOOK, Thomas Horky, Jörg-Uwe Nieland, International Sports Press Survey 2011,books.google.com/books?id=BVpBAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA63, 17 December 2014, 8 October 2013, BoD – Books on Demand, 978-3-7322-7886-2, 63, The editor of Kristeligt Dagblad is Erik Bjerager.WEB,www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/erik-bjerager-skriver, Erik Bjerager skriver, Kristeligt Dagblad, 24 August 2014, Danish,
