About Schibsted Media

Schibsted Media has a proud history of reinventing itself through investment and innovation. What began as a small publishing house in 1839 is now a leading media house with some of the strongest news brands in the Nordics. Each day, almost seven million Swedes and Norwegians interact with Schibsted Media to stay updated, engaged, and entertained.
