History
DN was founded by Rudolf Wall. The first issue was published on 23 December 1864. The format was completely changed from the classic broadsheet to tabloid on 5 October 2004.
Dagens Nyheter operated from the so-called 'DN-skrapan' (the DN-skyscraper) in Sweden. This was completed in 1964 and was designed by architect Paul Hedqvist. It is 84 metres (276 ft.) tall and has 27 floors, none of which are underground.
In 1996 the entire enterprise moved to its current location on Gjörwellsgatan, which is adjacent to the old ‘DN-skrapan’. The newspaper Expressen is also located in this building.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
