(in Swedish pronounced as /ˈdɑ̌ːɡɛns ˈnŷːˌheːtɛr/,), abbreviated DN, is a daily newspaper in Sweden. It is published in Stockholm and aspires to full national and international coverage, and is widely considered Sweden's newspaper of record.

History and profile

was founded by Rudolf Wall in December 1864.[1] [2] [3]

The first issue was published on 23 December 1864. During its initial period, the paper was published in the morning.[4] In 1874 the paper became a joint stock company.[5] Its circulation in 1880 was 15,000 copies.[2] In the 1890s, Wall left and soon after, the paper became the organ of the Liberal Party.[4] From 1946 to 1959, Herbert Tingsten was the executive editor.[6]

The newspaper has been owned by the Bonnier Group since 1909,[7] when Karl Otto Bonnier acquired the remaining shares that his family had not owned (his father Albert had already acquired some shares since 1888).[8] Opinion leaders often choose as the venue for publishing major opinion editorials. The stated position of the editorial page is "independently liberal".[9] [10] However, it left its formal alliance with the liberal establishment in the country in 1972.[4]

It is 84 metres (276 feet) tall and has 27 floors. In 1996, the entire enterprise moved to its current location on Gjörwellsgatan, which is adjacent to the old tower.[11] The newspaper, also owned by the Bonnier Group,[12] is located in this building as well.
