Points of view on Denmark

- A Tourist Guide to Denmark
- Another - fine - guide with a personal touch. The author states the guide is meant to give an: "insider view on Denmark to Tourist that is planning to come here for a visit. The concept I am working from is to not talk about the things you can find in an ordinary guide book. I only attempt to tell about places I have been or go regularly and would like to tell other people about".

- Berlingske Tidende
- Former speaker for the Big Business in Denmark, but the owner got tired of the editor and sold it, did not need it anymore, now owned by a Norwegian Media Koncern
- Børsen
- Finance and Business - The Danish "financial" - lot of business contracts and names. A Success! Read and stay connected with the time-spirit.
- Copenhagen Post
- English language newspaper with free PDF copy
- Dagbladet Arbejderen
- The Daily Worker - socialist - one of the few alternative voices among the Danish media. Serious revoluzis completely out of touch with the time-spirit...or maybe not?
- Information
- Dying... desperately seeking new readers - once read by intellectuals concerned about environmental and gender issues - but they arent that concerned anymore, or maybe the editor in charge isnt'...
- Jyllands Posten
- Right Wing - close to the Government - but some times reliable. Lack any sense of humour.
- Kristeligt Dagblad
- Christian newspaper with focus on moral, ethics and third world issues. - And then there are all the stuff necessary to keep the readers subscribing...
- Politiken
- Liberal / Social Democrat, main newspaper in the Capitol, dont like the current government (because the readers dont), some times interesting and /or amusing.
BTW: Politiken and Jyllands Posten are united in the same publishing house. - DR Nyheder
- News from the public Danish Radio and TV. Sometimes interesting. But they are not allowed to do anything controversial...
- Ekstra Bladet
- The primary source if you are looking for a few hours of female company. Published by Politiken (and Jyllands Posten). Finance the deficit of the former mentioned.
