The Sweden media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Sweden's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. The 7 titles tracked here span the spectrum — 1 we place on the left, 5 near the centre and 1 on the right — so a comparison can genuinely cross editorial lines rather than sampling one side twice.
By kind of outlet, the 7 titles break down as 4 daily newspapers (see all daily newspapers worldwide), 2 tabloids (Aftonbladet and Expressen) and 1 business daily (Dagens Industri). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Sweden, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Sweden sits in Northern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 2nd of the 10 countries in Northern Europe and 8th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Northern Europe with hubs of their own are United Kingdom (9), Ireland (6), Norway (6), Denmark (6), Finland (6), Iceland (5), Latvia (5), Lithuania (5) and Estonia (4).
