Postimees is currently published five days a week and has the largest circulation and readership in Estonia with 55,000 copies sold during the workweek and over 72,000 on weekends.

The weekend edition of Postimees, published on Saturdays, includes several separate sections: AK (Arvamus ja Kultuur), Arter, and a television-guide.

Karl August Hermann bought the paper in 1886 and began publishing Postimees in Tartu.

[5] In September 2013, Schibsted has agreed to sell the paper's parent company Eesti Meedia which it has owned from 1998, exiting the Baltic market.

Kadastik would resign as the chair of the supervisory board of Eesti Meedia, and Linnamäe would take over the position.

Janeck Uibo, who has previously served as marketing director of Postimees, would lead the paper.

[8] In March 2017, Postimees journalists accused daily's owner of meddling with the editorial policy of the news outlet.

It is prescribed to us whom to cover and with what degree of criticism," said the department heads of the daily in a memo sent to the publication's owner Margus Linnamäe and its general manager Sven Nuutmann, denouncing an unprecedented pressure on their professional freedom.
