Overview

Sappho is a Danish online magazine (tidsskrift) that has been published by the Free Press Society (Trykkefrihedsselskabet) since 2005. It is distributed through the society's website and is known for its polemical tone and its critical focus on Islam and Muslims, alongside broader themes of free speech, Islamism, antisemitism, politics and philosophy. The editorial team has included Lars Hedegaard, Helle Merete Brix, Farshad Kholghi and Kahttan Jasim, and the magazine has featured guest contributions from other well-known public debaters. Its name is taken from the ancient Greek poet Sappho, who lived and worked at the end of the 7th century BCE. The publication is a niche, opinion-driven outlet rather than a mass-market consumer title, and it functions as a platform for the Free Press Society's advocacy on freedom of expression.
