Dagens Nyheter

Dagens Nyheter, Sweden's most widely distributed and most prestigious daily newspaper, belongs to Swedish media group Bonnier. The paper sees its mission as keeping the public informed and claims to be "Sweden's biggest social and democratic marketplace". Its opinion pieces, especially those by external authors and politicians, regularly spark controversy. Money problems forced Dagens Nyheter to dismiss hundreds of journalists in the 1990s. Another 80 jobs were axed in 2013. Recently, however, well-known journalists have been successfully recruited from other media outlets.
