Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten (Danish pronunciation: [ˈmɒˀn̩æˌviˀsn̩ ˈjylænsˌpʰʌstn̩] ; English: The Morning Newspaper "The Jutland Post"), commonly shortened to Jyllands-Posten or JP, is a Danish daily broadsheet newspaper. It is based in Aarhus C, Jutland, and with a weekday circulation of approximately 120,000 copies.[2][3]
The foundation behind the newspaper, Jyllands-Postens Fond, defines it as an independent (centre-right) newspaper.[4] The paper officially supported the Conservative People's Party until 1938.[1]
In 2005-2006, the newspaper published cartoons that depicted the Islamic prophet Muhammad which sparked violent protests around the world, and led to several attempted terrorist plots against the newspaper or its employees.[5]
