Politiken comes second among Danish newspapers in terms of circulated copies, 126,380 (first half of 2006).[3] The daily edition of the newspaper has 450,000 readers, 585,000 on Sundays[4], also putting it in second place (free dailies excluded). Politiken Weekly is the international edition of Politiken, compiling the most important stories of a week for Danes living abroad.


Politiken relaunched itself on its birthday, October 1, 2006, keeping the broadsheet format but splitting most pages horizontally into "overview" (the upper 20-25 percent of a broadsheet page) and "depth" (rest of the page). The depth part provides more analytical, investigative and feature-like articles that tend to be longer and more carefully presented than traditional newspaper articles. The overview part is produced by the papers online desk and summarizes events of the latest 24 hours. The idea is to present a more unique and sharper selection of stories without losing the broad coverage of a traditional paper. October 1 is the 274th day of the year (275th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ...


Internationally, Politiken is mostly renowned for its photography. Jan Grarup, winner of several World Press Photo Awards and numerous other prizes, is a staff photographer, and several other photographers of the paper have won international reclaim in the last ten years.

Readership and views

Politiken is published with the goal of being an independent mouthpiece of social liberalism in Danish politics. Traditionally it was read by the intellectual middle class of Copenhagen, but has in recent years broadened its public somewhat. Social liberalism is either a synonym for new liberalism or a label used by progressive liberal parties in order to differentiate themselves from the more conservative liberal parties, especially when there are two or more liberal parties in a country. ... Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...


The newspaper was formerly affiliated with the political party Det Radikale Venstre (Social Liberal Party), but has long shed its traditional ties to any specific political parties. Since the current liberal-conservative coalition took office in 2001, Politiken has acted as a staunch critical. It could be argued that the newspaper has chosen a more politicized line than before, moving left. Among internationally known issues which the newspaper has opponed against are: Det Radikale Venstre (literally: The Radical Left, but officially translated by the party as Danish Social Liberal Party), is a social liberal party in Denmark. ... 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Interestingly, the newspaper Jyllands-Posten which published the cartoons and Politiken which opposes to them are jointly owned by the media house JP/Politikens Hus, but editorial matters are completely separate.

History

Dagbladet Politiken (The Daily Politiken) was founded October 1, 1884 in Copenhagen by Viggo Hørup, Edvard Brandes and Hermann Bang. It had an original daily circulation of 2,000 copies. The paper established its present location in central Copenhagen at Rådhuspladsen (City Hall Square) in 1912. October 1 is the 274th day of the year (275th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1884 (MDCCCLXXXIV) is a leap year starting on Tuesday (click on link to calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a leap year starting on Thursday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ... For other uses, see Copenhagen (disambiguation). ... Viggo Lauritz Bentheim Hørup (Hoerup), (May 22, 1841 - February 15, 1902) was a Danish politician, journalist and agitator, one of the most influential politicians of the Danish non-Socialist left wing. ... RÃ¥dhuspladsen is a square at the center of Copenhagen, Denmark. ...


On 28 April 1940, three weeks after the German invasion of Denmark, Politiken ran an editorial in which Winston Churchill was called ‘a dangerous man’. The editorial was written by foreign affairs editor Einard Schou after a conversation in the editor-in-chief's office with chairman of the board and soon-to-be-again Danish foreign minister Erik Scavenius. The aim is thought to have been to please the German occupational force, though no other Danish newspaper took such steps at the time - usually it was enough to keep within the newly-introduced censorship. As an immediate result, thousands of readers cancelled their subscriptions in protest. April 28 is the 118th day of the year (119th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 247 days remaining. ... 1940 (MCMXL) was a leap year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1940 calendar). ...

Politiken at The Redesign Wing (467 words)
Against the background of the challenge from new media and the explosion of free newspapers in Denmark, the editors new that the time was right for Politiken to change the way they edited and presented their content.
The overview part of the pages provides a functional and comprehensive news service which is presented in a neat, efficient way to make it as up to date as deadlines allow.
The typography was overhauled, a new grid established and many new graphic elements created, while the design that was developed had to be flexible enough to accommodate very different needs in the main sections and be adapted for Politiken's additional sections and tabloids.
