About Berlingske
Berlingske was founded in 1749 by Ernst Henrich Berling and remained family-owned until 1982. After several ownership changes, including the Norwegian Orkla Group and British Mecom Group, it was acquired by the Belgian media house DPG Media in 2014. In December 2024, the Norwegian media group Amedia acquired full ownership of Berlingske Media. The independent, self-owning Den Berlingske Fond, established in 1960, holds the publishing rights to its core titles and oversees journalistic activities
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Berlingske as Right-Center Biased, noting its editorial positions moderately favor the right and its reporting is mostly factual, though it occasionally uses loaded words and sensationalized headlines. The outlet has been observed to cover the former Trump administration with a favorable tone. Berlingske has faced criticism from the Chinese embassy over its reporting on China's military and Taiwan, which Reporters Without Borders (RSF) highlighted as part of increasing pressure on European press freedom. An academic study also suggested a representational bias, finding Berlingske published disproportionately more articles on the Liberal Alliance compared to Alternativet.
