In the 1970s Dagbladet Information was one of the alternative media together with Politisk Revy in Denmark and covered all dimensions of new social movements.<ref name=jam/>
The newspaper, which despite being politically independent, is regarded as left liberal<ref name=eurot/> and leftist<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> by some, but known as being equally critical in its point of view of all political organizations. It prints letters from prominent conservative figures and it tries to see several sides of a case. The tone is serious and the number of charts and pictures is limited, comparable to the French newspaper Le Monde. Information has a syndication agreement with the British newspaper The Guardian, and often collaborates with The Independent for articles and reports. The paper covers in-depth analytical articles.<ref name=bbc5/>
Dagbladet Information was published in broadsheet format until 30 November 2004 when it switched to a compact format.<ref name=bbc5/>
On 8 September 2006, the newspaper printed six of the less offensive entries from the Iranian Holocaust cartoon exhibition, which was a response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. The editor chose the cartoons after consulting the main rabbi in Copenhagen.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Danish journalist Mette Davidsen-Nielsen served as the paper's CEO from 2010 to 2016.
