Svenska Amerikanaren Tribunen is a Swedish-American weekly newspaper which was published in Chicago and read by Swedish immigrants.

[citation needed] During the large-scale emigration from Sweden to North America in the late 19th century, many of the immigrants did not immediately learn English.

Many settled in the Midwest, and in the big city of Chicago there was a market for Swedish-language newspapers and books.

The bilingual The Illinois Swede was started in 1869[4] but changed its name the year after to Nya Verlden and was published from 1870 to 1877.

[14] A newspaper with the title Svenska Amerikanska Tribunen was published from 1904 to 1920 in Superior, Wisconsin.
