Kronikken

Kronikken is a Danish online daily newspaper that focuses on investigative journalism, commentary, and news analysis. The outlet was launched in 2008 in Copenhagen as a response to what its founders described as a lack of independent voices in the Danish media landscape. In contrast to traditional broadsheets, Kronikken publishes its content exclusively on its website, with no print edition. The publication is edited by a small team of journalists who collaborate closely on investigative pieces that often cover corruption, political scandals, and social issues.

Kronikken markets itself as politically independent and has attracted readership among audiences who seek alternative perspectives to mainstream Danish media. Its editorial stance is generally described as center‑left or progressive, though the outlet emphasizes that it does not align with any particular party. In addition to news articles, Kronikken regularly publishes opinion pieces and essays that encourage public debate. The website also hosts a podcast series, visual journalism, and interactive features designed to engage readers.

Throughout its history, Kronikken has received critical acclaim for uncovering high‑profile cases involving public officials. It has also faced criticism from conservative commentators who argue that certain pieces are biased. Despite these debates, the publication remains a respected source for investigative journalism in Denmark. Its editorial team continues to expand coverage of international affairs, healthcare, education, and technology.
