History and Structure
Dagbladet Information was founded by Børge Outze, who played a key role in the newspaper's early days. He was the one who led the group of 66 freedom fighters who took over the building of the Nazi newspaper Fædrelandet in Copenhagen.
The newspaper's first edition was published just a day after the Nazi occupation was lifted, and it was written by employees lying on the floor under the windows to avoid being shot by a sniper. The newspaper was initially published in broadsheet format, measuring 57 cm.
Børge Outze's leadership and vision for the newspaper were instrumental in its early success. He even wrote a leader article to the nearby Amalienborg, telling the royal family about the new tenants in the building.
The newspaper's first edition was a two-page broadsheet, and it was a remarkable achievement considering the circumstances. The newspaper's office was also the site of a tense standoff with a sniper, who was shooting at the employees through the windows.
Information's original ambition was to last until the first free election after the war, but it ended up becoming a permanent fixture in Danish journalism. The newspaper's founders had a clear vision for its future, and they worked hard to make it a reality.
The newspaper's office was located in St. Kongensgade 40, and it was a hub of activity for the Danish resistance. The building had been leased by the resistance group, and they had even obtained a lease agreement before the occupation was lifted.
The newspaper's early days were marked by collaboration with other resistance groups, including Dansk Samling, which published its own newspaper, Morgenbladet. However, Morgenbladet's life was short-lived, and Information went on to become a leading voice in Danish journalism.

Avistegnere
Avistegnere played a crucial role in shaping the visual identity of Information, a Danish newspaper.
Tegneren Anton Hansen was a celebrated illustrator before the war, but after the war, he joined Information and created a series of illustrations called "Husker De?" which were a reflection of his experiences during the occupation.
The newspaper's back page featured political satire illustrations by renowned British cartoonists like Michael Cummings and Carl Giles in the 1950s. These illustrations were syndicated and translated by the newspaper's editorial team.
In 1957, the Polish immigrant Pjotr Baro created surreal and geometric illustrations for the newspaper, which were later supplemented by the satirical cartoonist PEP in 1959.
Flemming Quist Møller, a multi-talented artist, created many distinctive characters and satirical figures for the newspaper from 1962 to 1969.
Per Marquard Otzen and Peter Lautrop were two notable cartoonists who contributed to the newspaper from 1967 to 2004 and 1967 to 1990, respectively. Their styles were vastly different, with Otzen's sharp lines and Lautrop's naive, humorous illustrations.

Medarbeiderdemokrati
Medarbeiderdemokrati was a key aspect of Information's success in the 1970s. The staff had a high level of influence and decision-making power.
Palle Fogtdal's condition for transferring ownership to the employees was that everyone, regardless of their department, would have the same level of influence. This led to Information becoming an exceptional example of employee involvement.
The initial intention was to have equal pay for all employees, but this was never fully implemented due to differences in job roles and market mechanisms. In 1990, the principle of equal pay was abandoned when the company transitioned to a more traditional business structure.
Information was one of the few Danish companies that were both owned and managed by their employees.
