Politiken

Politiken is a Danish daily newspaper from Copenhagen, founded in 1884. It is published by JP/Politikens Hus, the media company formed in 2003 by the merger of Politikens Hus and Jyllands-Posten A/S. The publisher is owned by two Danish foundations, Politiken-Fonden and Jyllands-Postens Fond.

Features

• National daily with print and digital editions and a paid online subscription
• Sections for news, politics, culture, business and opinion
• Editorial independence supported by the foundation ownership, as Politiken-Fonden appoints the chief editors
• Sister titles in the same group include the tabloid Ekstra Bladet and a stake in Dagbladet Børsen

Politiken is one of the best-known quality newspapers in Denmark and is read in the Danish language. Because the owning foundations are not listed on a stock exchange, the paper is not controlled by outside shareholders. Readers can use the free parts of the website and the paid digital subscription, and the group publishes its news in Danish for readers in Denmark.
