Dagen, or since the early 2000s Nya Dagen, is a daily newspaper in Sweden with the expressed purpose of being a Christian voice in the media noise.
The first issue of the newspaper was published on 1 November 1945.[1] Lewi Pethrus, the leader of the Pentecostal movement in Sweden was its founder[2] and its chief editor until his death in 1974. During this period the paper was the mouthpiece of the Pentecostal movement in Sweden.[1] This lasted until the 1990s when the paper expanded its profile and changed its management structure due to financial problems.[1]
In the early 2000s the paper was relaunched under the name of Nya Dagen (meaning 'The New Day' in English).[1] The circulation of Nya Dagen was 18,400 copies in 2006.
