<p>Good speech, I'll do research on the media conglomerates that may be influencing such spin at these publications and shine a light on them through the superpowers of blog syndication.</p>
<p>If you know who owns that publication let me know please :-)</p>
<p></p></blockquote><div><br>I can already help you with that. <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressen">http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressen</a><br><br>Expressen is owned by the Bonnier conglomerat which owns about 80% of all Swedish media, including Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenskan, the two largest publications after Svenska dagbladet and Aftonbladet one of which is owned by Schibstedt (Norwegian conglomerate which holds large stakes in Norwegian media I believe) and LO (the union of most public worker labour unions).<br>
<br>All Bonnier publications are going down. Expressen and Dagens nyheter have been going tabloid since several years ago, and Bonnier is more and more appearing to imitate the Murdoch empire. I'm not really sure what to do about that though - I know that the non-Bonnier publications are mostly held afloat by the Swedish media support system (which, to be fair, also helps Bonnier) which has recently been condemned by the European Court of Justice for distorting the market. Mark my words - when it goes, so do all non-Bonnier publications.<br>
