nyhederne

Nyhederne, meaning “the news” in Danish, is the name of the main television news program and news brand produced by Danmarks Radio (DR), the Danish public-service broadcaster. It provides national and international news coverage, including politics, economy, culture, science, and weather, delivered through television bulletins, online platforms, and radio updates. The flagship broadcast airs on DR1, with updates and supplementary reports on DR2, and is supported by an online newsroom at dr.dk/nyheder that publishes articles, video reports, and live streams.

Nyhederne employs reporters and correspondents in Denmark and abroad and collaborates with DR’s editorial staff to deliver daily news, analysis, and investigative reporting. The program adheres to DR’s public-service principles, emphasizing accuracy, impartiality, and accountability. It has played a central role in shaping public discourse in Denmark and serves as a primary source of national and international news for a broad audience of viewers, readers, and listeners.

Over time, Nyhederne has evolved with changes in media consumption, integrating digital platforms, on-demand video, podcasts, and social media to broaden reach and accessibility. In addition to the daily editions, the brand produces special broadcasts for major events such as elections, crises, and significant international developments. Nyhederne remains a core component of DR’s news portfolio and a reference point within Danish media for reliable news coverage.
