About Svenska Dagbladet
Svenska Dagbladet is owned by the Norwegian media group Schibsted, which became the main owner in 1998 and eventually acquired the entire newspaper. Historically, the paper was owned by the Trygger family and later by the Enterprise Fund, established by Swedish businessmen to secure its ownership.
Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates Svenska Dagbladet as Right-Center Biased, noting its focus on narratives aligning with conservative values and critical, yet occasionally selective, coverage. While the editorial page states an 'independently moderate' position, adhering to liberal conservatism, the paper is also regarded as conservative. MBFC also highlights the use of emotionally charged headlines and allegations of biased coverage, which can lower its overall factual reliability. The outlet faced criticism from the Global Water Partnership (GWP) in October 2024 for alleged bias and incomplete reporting regarding its finances.
