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:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
