==Criticism==
In 1988, {{Lang|no|Dagbladet}} was criticised for the aggressive use of photographs of grieving next-of-kin in the [[Widerøe Flight 710#Aftermath|aftermath of the Flight 710 air-disaster]]. This led to a self-imposed change of practice within the Norwegian press regarding the handling of such incidents.

On 10 November 1989, the day after the [[Fall of the Berlin Wall|fall of the Berlin wall]], {{Lang|no|Dagbladet}} made no reference to the fall on its front page and instead featured the headline "Let the children swear", a quote from child psychologist [[Magne Raundalen]]. This caused criticism and ridicule of the newspaper for being overly tabloid.<ref>Christian Thorkildsen (7 November 2009) [http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Berlinmurens-bannemann-5589650.html Berlinmurens bannemann] Aftenposten.</ref>
