Aftonbladet (Swedish for The Evening Sheet) is a Swedish tabloid founded by Lars Johan Hierta in 1830 during the modernization of Sweden. Today the newspaper labels itself as independent Social Democrat. It is one of the larger daily newspapers in the Nordic countries, although not the largest (as has sometimes been reported) as the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat has a larger circulation. Aftonbladet is owned by the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) and Norwegian media group Schibsted. In 2006 the paper had 1,425,000 daily readers, circa 15% of the Swedish population.
