Not only is the Bonnier family Jewish, but they are the far most influential media group in Sweden and in Finland. Bonnier is a taken name; originally the family was named Hirschel.
Of the seven largest daily newspapers in Sweden, the seven with a daily circulation of over 100,000, the Bonnier family owns four, Dagens Nyheter (the Daily News), Expressen (the Express), Sydsvenska Dagbladet (the Southern Swedish Daily News) and Dagens Industri (the Industry of Today). The largest of the private channels in Sweden is TV4. The Bonnier family directly holds 21,6% of TV4 and through their ownership of the Finnish based Alma media company they hold an additionally 23,4%, totalling up 45% and a virtual control. As head of TV4 we find the Jew Jan Scherman. Through Alma Media, Bonnier also controls MTV3, the most popular channel in Finland with 39,1% of the total viewing time (in 2001) and Subtv, the third largest commercial television channel in Finland, aiming mainly at young adults.
Apropos Finland, Bonnier also owns 23% of MTV in that country. In Finland, Bonnier also controls the leading daily Iltalehti and Kauppalehti, Finland’s largest business media with a circulation of 85.000 per day. Bonnier also control the printing house Lehdentekijät, that produces 40 regularly published magazines in Finland. In addition to that they own five regional papers, 15 local papers and nine free-distribution papers in Finland alone. They further control the Baltic News Service, the leading news bureau in the Baltic region, providing the world with news about the Baltic with a Bonnier touch.
Beside the Bonnier family in Sweden there is the Jew Peter Hjörne (Kaplan), owner and chief editor of Göteborgs-Posten (the Gothenburg Post; GP), the fourth largest newspaper in Sweden with a circulation of 253,700, reaching 600,000 readers daily. GP is furthermore the only newspaper in Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg. Hjörne is also the owner of two local newspapers, Bohuslänningen (32.400) and Strömstads tidning (5,200); both distributed in the Swedish north-west coast area. In addition he controls 22% of Liberala tidningars konsortium (the consortium of liberal newspapers) and thereby Nerike Allehanda (The eighth largest newspaper in Sweden with a circulation of 66,300), Motala tidning/Vadstena tidning (12,800), Bergslagsposten (10,600) and Nya Ludvika tidning (9,500). Finally he also holds 9% of Hallandsposten (31,000).
Hjörne is a part of the old Jewish establishment in Gothenburg and has his way to influence the Gentiles of that city. For instance, when the Jew Steven Spielberg¹s movie Schindler¹s List reached the screens Hjörne personally paid so all senior high school students would see it. The Bonnier family owns 30% and Hjörne owns 10% of The Swedish News-agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå (the Swedish Central News Agency), the mainly news source for the none-local news stories in most minor papers in Sweden.
The largest newspaper in Sweden is Aftonbladet (the Evening Post), jointly owned by the Swedish Labour Union and the Norwegian Schibstedt company. The chief editor, however, is the Jewess Helle Klein, great granddaughter of the former grand rabbi of Stockholm, Rabbi Gottlieb Klein. Her father, Ernst Klein, is influential in Swedish media as well. 1990-1999 he was the chief editor of Östgöta Correspondenten, the ninth largest newspaper in Sweden, and now he sits on its board. He furthermore is president of Svensk Presshistorisk Förening (Swedish association of press history).
Beside Klein there are several Jewish staffers working at Aftonbladet.
In other words, of the seven largest news papers in Sweden, six are either owned by or edited by Jews. And please note, there are fewer than 20,000 Jews in Sweden making up roughly 0.2% of the total population. Actually, I could go on and on describing the Jewish media influence in Sweden but I guess you see where I am heading.”

“There is a Jew named Robert Aschberg in Sweden who wields a great lot of power in our media. He owns the largest production company in Sweden called Strix Television and produces programs for every major channel, especially TV3 where almost all programs that aren’t Hollywood produced sitcoms, talk shows (Ricky Lake and Jerry Springer) or bad movies comes from Strix. It was Strix by the way that first came up with the idea of the show Survivor, now broadcasted also in the USA. Aschberg himself is the head of several of these usually noisy and chaotic shows and has thus been called Sweden’s Michel Friedman. His maternal grandfather is the banker Olof Aschberg who helped finance the Russian revolution and his brother, Richard Aschberg, works at Aftonbladet (the Evening Post). Robert Aschberg is further an important financer of eXpo, a Swedish version of the ADL, while it however is not an exclusively Jewish organization.”

Overview
The family-controlled Bonnier group dates from the 1820s and is the largest media corporation in Scandinavia.
Like competitors such as Sanoma WSOY, Schibsted, Orkla and Egmont it is expanding out of saturated local markets into Western and Central Europe. It publishes books, newspapers and magazines, produces and distributes films, has significant financial data services and has radio and television broadcast investments (eg a 50% stake in Nordic Broadcasting Oy and a 49% stake in SBS Radio AB).
As of 2000 Bonnier employed around 9,500 people. Revenue was around SEK14bn, with around 40% of turnover in 2001 outside Sweden.
The group
The group centres on newspaper and book publishing.
Bonnier dominates the Swedish publishing landscape, to the extent that there have been proposals for a Lex Bonnier. It currently has over a quarter of the total newspaper circulation and a higher number of titles. Its magazine interests have a higher market share.
It expanded into newspaper publishing in Norway, Denmark, Latvia and Finland – generally through investments or partnerships (notably a stake in Alma Media, resulting from the 1997 merger of Aamulehti – Finland’s second largest newspaper publisher – and commercial television group MTV). In Latvia, for example, it has around 44% of newspaper circulation.
Bonnier is the largest book publisher in the Nordic countries (imprints include Albert Bonnier in Sweden, Cappelens in Norway) and has expanded further south through the acquisition of specialist and general book publishers in Germany, the Netherlands and France.
It acquired SF – the national film production and distribution group in 1973, operates a Scandinavian cinema chain. It had substantial interests in Swedish commercial television and radio. Bonnier Radio AB (14 stations) merged with SBS’s radio arm in 2003; Bonnier has a 49% stake in the resultant SBS Radio AB.
Medialinnakkeet notes that in 2001 the distribution of turnover (16.8 million SK) was as follows
Sweden – 10,190
Denmark – 1,747
Norway – 1,509
Germany – 1.374
Finland – 748
Britain – 357
Latvia – 235
Spain – 139
Lithuania – 117
the Netherlands – 80
France – 65
other markets – 278
In 2005 Bonnier and Proventus jointly acquired Alma Media’s broadcasting division (inc Finnish TV channel MTV3, a majority holding in the Finnish radio station Radio Nova and 23.4% of Swedish TV4 AB) for €463 million. The deal followed an unsolicited €705m bid for Alma by Schibsted. It was expected that Almanova, a newly established company, would acquire the Bonnier (33%) and Proventus (8%) stake in Alma Media for €340 million. The Alma broadcast interests were transferred to Nordic Broadcasting Oy (Bonnier’s joint venture with Proventus), which acquired Schibsted’s 26.9% stake in TV4 AB in late 2006. Almanova was floated on the Helsinki Stock Exchange as Alma Media Corporation.
In 2007 Bonnier’s World Publications unit in the US paid an estimated US$300 million for Time Warner’s Parenting, Babytalk, Popular Science, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Yachting, MotorBoating, Salt Water Sportsman, Skiing, Ski, TransWorld Skateboarding, TransWorld Snowboarding,TransWorld Motocross, TransWorld Surf, ride bmx, Quad, Shot Business and TransWorld business
