Jyllands-Posten

DENMARK'S INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER

Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten is Denmark's largest newspaper both in its printed version and on the Internet

With its high reputation for unbiased news and forthright opinions, Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten is one of Denmark's most widely read newspapers – and the country's outstanding newspaper success of recent years. Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten is read by more than 355,000 people on weekdays and 483,000 on Sundays, the only truly national readership of any Danish paper.

Jyllands-Posten, however, not only offers a printed newspaper. It also offers the news web sites jp.dk, epn.dk, fpn.dk and spn.dk

Owned by a private foundation until the end of the year 2002, Jyllands-Posten was completely independent of institutional or political affiliations or other external influences. Editorial independence, a broad international horizon and a strong commitment to journalistic accuracy and reliability have been the guiding principles behind Jyllands-Posten's success.

1 January 2003 saw the merger of the Jyllands-Posten A/S publishing company and Politiken A/S, which up till then had published Politiken and Ekstra Bladet.

To undertake the publishing of all three newspapers a new company was formed in connection with the merger.

However, each newspaper will retain its editorial freedom and individuality under the terms of the merger.

Editorial independence and hence trustworthiness therefore still underlie the operations of Jyllands-Posten.

The merger left Denmark's newspaper market with two major players: The independent Jyllands-Posten/Politiken group and the Berlingske group owned by Mecom Group plc, a European content and consumer business.

Jyllands-Posten's two head offices are situated in Aarhus and Copenhagen – the centres of the two most populated areas in Denmark.

Currently Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten has full-time staff correspondents in Barcelona, Beijing, Beirut, Berlin, Bruxelles, Cairo, Istanbul, London, Los Angeles, Moscow, Paris,Savannah (USA), Stockholm, Tokyo, Vienna, Washington.
