Good News, Everyone

I thought it would be clever not to read the gratis newspapers (Metro, Stockholm City) when commuting to university. Thus I have subscribed to Sweden's biggest daily newspaper "Dagens Nyheter." (DN). Which is not expensive as students get home delivery for only 350 SEK per quarter (about 37.50 EUR).

According to Wikipedia (German version) DN's political orientation is similar to the SZ's. This is an extract from their self-description:

DN är oberoende, står fri från partier, organisationer och ekonomiska maktsfärer. DN:s politiska hållning är liberal. Tidningen redigeras i liberal och frisinnad anda. ... [1, 2]


My first issue of Dagens Nyheter.

Today I got my first issue. The layout and the whole newspaper makes a good impression, although it is in tabloid format (so it's impossible to hide behind it).

The editorial article warns the Swedes against a big coalition like that which is going to be established in Germany, it is said to be an emergency solution and not a state of perfection as many people think. Then the article discusses the advantages of positive parliamentarism, where the chancellor must be elected by the parliament. In Sweden it is sufficient, if the parliament just tolerates the premier minister. [3] Unfortunately I have also discovered the daily Sudoku puzzle already.

[2] English translation:

DN is independent, not related to parties, organisations and economical influences. DN's political orientation is liberal. The newspaper is edited in a liberal and-open minded spirit. ...
