The paper is owned by the media group LT Liberala Tidningar AB and the stated position of the editorial is "independently liberal".

Falk was the owner of the printing house and Gumaelius, a devoted liberal, became its first editor.

In 1975, the newspaper was sold from the Ljung family to the newly formed limited partnership corporation Liberala Tidningar.

[4] On 19 August 2007, the newspaper printed a drawing by Swedish artist Lars Vilks depicting the Prophet Mohammed as a roundabout dog.

According to editor-in-chief Ulf Johansson, the publishing of the image was done by the newspaper in order to protest the refusal of several Swedish art galleries to show a series of Mohammed paintings by Vilks.

Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt expressed support for freedom of the press, as well as for religious tolerance.
