It has the largest circulation of Swedish morning newspapers, followed by Göteborgs-Posten and Svenska Dagbladet, and is the only morning newspaper that is distributed to subscribers across the whole country. In 2007 DN had a circulation of 344 000, reaching 881 000 people every day.^[1] Opinion leaders often choose DN as the venue for publishing major debate articles.

The DN building (aka DN-skrapan in Swedish) in Stockholm, the former site of Dagens Nyheter

It is published in Stockholm and aspires to full national and international coverage.

DN was founded by Rudolf Wall. The first issue was published on 23 December 1864. The format was completely changed from the classic broadsheet to tabloid on 5 October 2004.

Dagens Nyheter operated from the so-called DN-skrapan (the DN-skyscraper) in Sweden. This was completed in 1964 and was designed by architect Paul Hedqvist. It is 84 metres (276 ft.) tall and has 27 floors, none of which are underground.

In 1996 the entire enterprise moved to its current location on Gjörwellsgatan, which is adjacent to the old ‘DN-skrapan’.^[2] The newspaper Expressen is also located in this building.

The title font is DN Bodoni by Örjan Nordling.^[3]
