In Sunday’s Dagens Nyheter, editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski has been replaced by 17-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg. Of the nearly 100 pages of the newspaper, more than half are dedicated to the climate crisis.

“These are facts, no opinion,” reads the Dagens Nyheter cover caption Sunday. The content of the magazine has been managed by Visiting Editor-in-Chief Greta Thunberg and is very, very fact-focused.

Several articles describe, among other things, the basic mechanics of the greenhouse effect, possible future scenarios, the effects of climate change and the international agreements signed. The magazine also contains reports from some of the places in the world where climate change is most noticeable.

The cultural part is also characterized by the editor-in-chief of Thunberg. There is, among other things, a long conversation between Greta Thunberg and the famous British filmmaker and nature presenter David Attenborough. Canadian author Margaret Atwood also contributed an essay to the magazine.

That Thunberg would be allowed to act as the newspaper’s guest editor-in-chief was decided in October, after during a visit to the editorial office she criticized DN and other outlets for lack of climate coverage. In the first newspaper article, comment on the decision.

“Handing over responsibility for Sweden’s largest newspaper to a lesser, uneducated activist is completely incomprehensible. It’s crazy. If it weren’t for the absurd fact that we are in an existential crisis that our society still ignores,” writes Greta Thunberg. .
