- **Funding:** Advertising revenue and subscription model
- **Focus areas:** Breaking news, politics, crime, sports, culture, entertainment, lifestyle, and opinion
- **Declared political stance:** Liberal

## How the position was assessed

Expressen describes itself as independently liberal, but its editorial page consistently reflects center-right positions aligned with Swedish liberal conservatism. Media Bias/Fact Check rates the outlet Right-Center Biased (updated 2024), noting reliance on sensationalized tabloid headlines and emotionally charged language, particularly in coverage of immigration and crime. While factual accuracy is generally rated Mostly Factual with no failed fact checks documented in recent years, Expressen's framing frequently favors conservative narratives and uses loaded language that can mislead readers.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
