In March 2002 its coverage expanded to include Laksevåg. From January 25, 2013, to August 2015, Laksevåg was covered by the affiliated paper ''Lyderhorn'', which then folded. Now ''Sydvesten'' once again covers both Fyllingsdalen and Laksevåg. ''Sydvesten'' is owned by the company Bydelsavisene Bergen AS and is published every Tuesday, except for four weeks in July.
