Fréttablaðið (English: The Newspaper) was a free Icelandic newspaper. It was distributed five days per week. Fréttablaðið was established in 2001. It was originally owned primarily by the media group 365. The paper was published six days per week, Monday — Saturday until September 2003, when its frequency was switched to daily. As of 2019, it was published six days per week again, and as of 2020, it was published five days per week. It is entirely funded by advertising. Fréttablaðið has been described as siding politically with the Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylkingin) and for favouring Icelandic membership of the European Union. However, some of its editors have sided with the conservative Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn), and its former editor-in-chief and regular columnist is Independence Party's former leader and Prime Minister Þorsteinn Pálsson.
