Aeon Media Group was founded in 2020 in Avesta, Sweden, with Markus Andersson serving as its CEO. The group owns several outlets under its umbrella, including Nya Dagbladet, The Nordic Times, and Aeon News. In its company profile, the group positions itself as a Nordic leader, claiming to be “pioneering media innovation across Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland.” The group’s self-proclaimed mission of supporting “quality journalism” and “independent media” contrasts with the well-documented track record of its flagship publication, Nya Dagbladet, which has been widely identified as a platform for right-wing extremism, conspiracy theories, anti-vaccine rhetoric, and disinformation.
