Newspapers in Denmark. I am having a hard time finding the exact number of how many newspapers are produced in Denmark, but I did find an article that is talking about free publications compared to those owned by the government.
Two newspapers, Urban and MetroXpress, started the move to being free agents. From there it swelled to six. The only issue with having six free newspapers is competition. There isn’t enough room for six new ones in an industry that is already struggling.
According to this article, the two leading newspapers in Denmark are both freesheets, being Urban and MetroXpress. Funny thing is though, that Urban is a branch off of a Britain newspaper and MetroXpress is an international newspaper. The third in ranks is a conventional newspaper.
Overall the article is really interesting I think. The newspaper with the most growth is a brand new free agent. That is a promising start for a business that is so competition-minded. Does it say something though that the two leading newspapers are international? Globalization? I’m not sure…I’m going to look them up and keep you posted.

History: Royalty
In class you asked us to look into whether or not our country had a royal family. As a matter of fact, Denmark has one of the oldest royal families in history. At the present moment it has a 11 members. Their royal family comes from two bloodlines, House of Oldenborg and House of Glücksborg.
On the Danish Monarchy website, it has press releases ranging from royal births, to christenings to communication between other countries. Just this October, Her Royal Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince Consort visited the Republic of Korea by an invite personally from His Excellency Roh Moo-hyun.
Not only that, but in September His Excellency Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Mrs. Marisa Letícia Lula da Silva from Brazil both paid a visit and their respects to the Danish Monarchy by visiting the country.
I find it quite intriguing to think about Denmark having a royal family, and an active royal family on top of that. Royalty fascinates me on any level, but to think there are countries that still live their lives in such tradition is alluring.
I was also reading on this website all of the palaces that the royals find themselves in year round. It was interesting to me that since the late 1800’s the government owns the majority of the palaces. Because of the making of their Constitution, the palaces were then passed on to the Kingdom of Denmark. There are one or two though that still belong to the family itself.

How Other Cultures Influence Me
I think that other cultures have a great influence on myself as well as out society. The first thing that pops into my head when it comes to other cultures is food! When it comes to America, all we eat is other countries food….Chinese food, Mexican food, Italion, Sushi, etc. What does America call their own? Fast food? Our diets are based on our own junk and other countries cuisine.
Another factor that I think has a huge influence on the our country, mainly the southern border, is the hispanice influence. In Southern California everything is written in English and immediately followed with a Spanish translation. The same can be said for cities in Florida that are heavily influenced by Cuba. Our two cultures have become one in this large melting pot of a country.
