Why Sweden's top newspaper launched a radio – interview with Aftonbladet
Can a traditional medium help a major newspaper reach people who increasingly avoid the news?
In this episode of Fix.Ed, The Fix contributor Emma Löfgren speaks with Aftonbladet publisher and CEO Lotta Folcker about the launch of Radio Aftonbladet, Sweden’s first news-oriented commercial FM station. They discuss why Aftonbladet is betting on radio, how the newsroom adapted to breaking news on air, and whether FM can expand reach, strengthen the brand and create new revenue.
Note: the interview was recorded at the end of August 2026. Dive deeper:
