Purpose

Selskabets formål er at udgive uafhængigt journalistisk indhold, herunder dagblade, på alle relevante platforme og kanaler, deltage i anden informationsvirksomhed og aktiviteter, der understøtter og bidrager til opfyldelse af formålet, samt finansiering i forbindelse hermed. Selskabets dagblade og øvrige medier med tilsvarende indhold redigeres ud fra et liberalt og frisindet grundsyn med respekt for den tradition, der er bygget op i politisk, folkelig, kristelig og national henseende. Det er bladenes opgave at søge at opfylde befolkningens informationsbehov i de områder, hvori de udkommer, og på bedste måde tilgodese lokale interesser. Derudover er chefredaktionen forpligtet til at sørge for alsidig nyhedsformidling fra indland og udland. Bladene er uafhængige af partier, organisationer og andre interessegrupper, og det er chefredaktionens pligt at værne dem mod pression af enhver art
