Danish news media provides for a large variety of different news formats. They are available in both printed and online media, owned by private foundations or owners, and in public service media, mainly provided electronically and digitally in broadcast, on-demand, and radio. Printed subscription newspapers in Denmark are traditionally broadsheets carrying a wide range of genres (original news items, telegrams, op-eds, backgrounds, features, columns, etc.) and a wide range of topics (politics, economy, current affairs, culture, sports, etc.), which are presented in different combinations, thus catering to different market segments. The online editions of legacy media houses also spill off from their heritage and carry a relatively broad mix of genres and topics. The two printed tabloids also offer a mix of news genres (both original news and telegrams on current affairs, politics, crime, celebrity, and sports) as well as columns. They also have space for the public to comment on stories, and so forth. Meanwhile, the national public broadcaster DR carries a wide range of news formats on radio, television, and podcasts, both flow and on-demand. The regional public broadcaster TV 2, on the other hand, offers different news formats on flow and on-demand television as well as online. In total, almost all genres are supplied, and news is offered on local, national, and international levels.
