Often used
abbreviation for
Sydsvenska Dagbladet Snällposten, the older and more
formal name for
Sydsvenskan, the largest
morning newspaper in the south of
Sweden (
Skåne). It has a daily
circulation of about 130 000, and
claims to have more than 300 000 daily readers.
Politically it calls itself "
independent liberal", which in Sweden means that it is
social liberal and highly
critical of the way the
Social Democrats run
the country.
The paper was started in 1848 by a man named Bernhard Cronholm, and is today owned by the Bonnier family (who, according to some, are slowly turning Swedish media into a monopoly).
