About Dagens Nyheter
Dagens Nyheter has been owned by the Bonnier Group (Bonnier AB), a major Swedish media conglomerate, since 1909. It is part of Bonnier News, which is a division of the larger Bonnier Group.
Dagens Nyheter is widely considered Sweden's newspaper of record and is rated as 'High for factual reporting' by Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) due to a clean fact-check record and its status as a certified IFCN fact-checker. While its editorial page states an 'independently liberal' position, MBFC assesses its overall bias as 'Right-Center Biased,' noting that 'Liberals are considered center-right in Sweden.' The outlet has been involved in some editorial discussions, such as a columnist labeling changes to the Pippi Longstocking television adaptation as censorship in 2014.
