Information (Danish pronunciation: [enfɒmæˈɕoːˀn]), full name: Dagbladet Information ([ˈdɑwˌblæːˀð enfɒmæˈɕoːˀn]), is a Danish newspaper published Monday through Saturday.
Dagbladet Information was established and published by the Danish resistance movement in 1943 during World War II. The paper was edited by Børge Outze and was illegal during the war as it was not regulated by the German occupying power. Following the liberation on 5 May 1945 Dagbladet Information was a reality and was officially founded in August 1945. Outze continued to work as the paper's editor in chief to his death in 1980. It has its headquarters in Copenhagen.
Dagbladet Information is the youngest still-surviving newspaper in Denmark and remains independent of the larger publishing houses. The paper is owned by A/S Information and is published by Aktiengesellschaft A/S Dagbladet Information from Monday to Saturday. It is based in Copenhagen.
In the 1970s Dagbladet Information was one of the alternative media together with Politisk Revy in Denmark and covered all dimensions of new social movements.
The newspaper, which despite being politically independent, is regarded as left liberal and leftist by some, but known as being equally critical in its point of view of all political organizations. It prints letters from prominent conservative figures and it usually puts great focus in enlightening both sides of a case. The tone is very serious and the amount of charts and pictures is very limited and comparable to the French newspaper Le Monde. Information has a syndication agreement with the British newspaper the Guardian, and often collaborates with The Independent for articles and reports.
