Kristeligt Dagblad

Established in 1896, this paper is Christian in orientation, "Faith, Ethics and Existence" appears on its title page. It was founded in reaction to the coverage of a funeral ceremony sermon held for four drowned fishermen. The pastor felt his sermon had been misinterpreted and that he had been misquoted. The Inner Mission interpreted this as a need for a Christian newspaper.

The paper has managed to keep its circulation steady at 26,000 copies for years. It is owned by around 3,000 shareholders, a large portion of them are readers.
