Aller's publications are among the most read in Sweden. It publishes 34 magazines every month which are read by over 4 million people including the best selling magazine in Sweden as of 2004, the TV Guide ''Se & Hör'', which is published in Norway and Denmark as '' Se og Hør''. ''Allers'' magazine is distributed in Norway and Sweden for the mature female market group. It traces its origins from the Danish weekly '' Illustreret Familie-Journal'', founded in 1877 by Carl Aller. In 1894 it moved base to Helsingborg and changed its name to the ''Allers Family-Journal''. In 1959 the name was changed to ''Allers Family Journal'', which in 1968 was shortened to ''Allers''. The original magazine was a pioneer in including crosswords and cartoons in magazines in Sweden. ''Allers'' is the oldest magazine still in circulation in Norway where it has been published since 1897. In June 2013, Aller Media bought '' Dagbladet'' with online products from Berner Gruppen for reportedly about 300 million Norwegian kroner. In February 2014 the company acquired several Finnish
