Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's largest daily newspaper with a circulation of 179,962 on weekdays and 243,492 on Sundays, is located in Århus.

Longstanding and historic ties exist between Jyllands-Posten and Århus as, at the time of its founding in October 1871, the newspaper was housed in modest offices in the street of Frederiksgade. However, that is a long time ago. In 1964, the newspaper moved to new, purpose-built premises in Viby in the south of Århus. Today, Jyllands-Posten is no longer a regional newspaper, but Denmark's unquestionably largest and only truly national newspaper.

Since March 1998, Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten has offered readers and advertisers in the Århus area a special service. JP Århus, with a circulation of 42,250 on weekdays and 56,175 on Sundays, is published with Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten in Greater Århus and neighbouring districts. In other words, in addition to the solid local newspaper readers also receive Denmark’s International Newspaper.

Since January 1996, Jyllands-Posten has also offered Internetavisen Jyllands-Posten, not only an electronic version of the print edition but a news service as well, updating news around the clock, elaborating on events and offering background material. Furthermore, it features audio and video clips. With 400,000 page impressions daily Internetavisen Jyllands-Posten is one of the most popular news sites in Denmark competing with commercial websites such as Jubii, Sol, Opasia and the Kraks Vejviser Directory.

The justification of Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten lies in its unconditional journalistic credibility – primarily deriving from the financial, political and organisational independence stipulated in the trust deed of the Jyllands-Posten Foundation. The trust deed requires the Foundation “through the possession of shares in Jyllands-Posten A/S to support the aforesaid company in publishing Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten as a liberal newspaper independent of private, business, organisational or party-political interests”.

Every day an editorial staff of 200 provides news, information, entertainment and background material for readers.

Jyllands-Posten is Denmark's most frequently quoted newspaper.

Every year Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten awards prizes for The City of The Year, The Artist of The Year, The Sports Name of The Year and The Best Newspaper Advertisement of The Year, the Aurora Prize.

Moreover, every year the Laust Jensen Prize – a prize of honour – is bestowed upon a colleague who has made a special journalistic effort.

Journalistic credibility and independence are the hallmarks of Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten. No one can obtain influence on the editorial line of Jyllands-Posten by financial means, and no one is above the critical reporting of Jyllands-Posten.
