    The homepage of Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet is controlled by an algorithm.

    The Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet developed an algorithm guided partially by editors and partially by reader preferences that delivers a personalized homepage for each website visitor. Editor in chief Fredric Karén credits the technology with a significant boost in online traffic and digital subscriptions.

    Reporting by Lily Oppenheimer, Rachel Wise and Jessica King.

    We believe that the future news experience is going to be much more personalized. – Svenska Dagbladet Editor-in-Chief Fredric Karén
