About Dagens Nyheter
Dagens Nyheter, founded in 1864 by Rudolf Wall, has been owned by the Bonnier Group, a global media company controlled by the Bonnier family, since 1909. The newspaper generates revenue through commercial advertising and subscription fees.
Dagens Nyheter is widely regarded as Sweden's newspaper of record. While its stated editorial position is 'independently liberal,' Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) classifies it as 'Right-Center Biased,' noting that liberals are considered center-right in Sweden. MBFC also rates Dagens Nyheter as 'High' for factual reporting. The paper has been observed to use moderately emotional language in headlines and is critical of the populist far-right. Sweden consistently ranks highly in press freedom indices, with Reporters Without Borders (RSF) placing it 4th in 2025, though RSF has noted recent concerns about laws that could restrict journalists' work.
