Dimmalætting

Dimmalætting (Faroese for 'Dawn') is the oldest and largest newspaper of the Faroe Islands and is based in Tórshavn.

The first edition of the Dimma, as it is commonly known, appeared (after a test issue on December 8, 1877) on January 5, 1878.

As an answer to competing papers, the Wednesday edition is delivered free of charge to all households.

The paper's name comes from Venceslaus Ulricus Hammershaimb, the very creator of the modern orthography of Faroese.

Dimma.fo announced however in late 2014 that the paper had started again, but in a reduced rate with one weekly newspaper every Friday.
