Sweden Newspapers

History
The first newspaper in Sweden was Ordinari Post Tijdender an official publication of the Swedish government used to post government proclamations and news from official correspondents. It was renamed Post- och Inrikes Tidningar in 1821, and discontinued publication in 2007. In 1766 the Law on the Freedom of Printing (Tryckfrihetsförordningen) established freedom of the press in Sweden. The first daily newspaper was Dagligt Allehanda, published in Stockholm from 1769-1849. Dagens Nyheter began publication in 1864 as a low-cost, mass-appeal, newspaper. Despite declining readership and an increasing shift to online journalism newspapers in Sweden have high circulation.
