tabloid newspaper focusing on sensationalist stories. It gets a share of its income from sex ads. Since 1979 it has always had a partly or completely naked woman on page nine which is referred to as "Side 9 Pigen" ("The Page 9 Girl"), a Danish equivalent of the EnglishPage Three girl . The current editor isPoul Madsen , who onSeptember 6 ,2007 replacedHans Engell cite news|url=http://politiken.dk/indland/article375267.ece|title=Hans Engell forlader Ekstra Bladet|language=Danish|date=2007-09-06 |accessdate=2007-09-06|publisher=Politiken ] .The political leaning of the newspaper might traditionally be viewed as social-liberal (as it is an offspring of "
Politiken "), but it would probably be more accurate to say that the newspaper considers itself in opposition to anyone in a position of power, and the defender of the ordinary man. Ekstra Bladet has always strived on being there for the people and that has proven to be a successful path. In an ever-shrinking market where bothbroadsheet andtabloid news papers are experiencing declining circulation Ekstra Bladet is outselling its major rival BT. Furthermore the newspaper's web site is consistently ranked as one of the most visited web sites in Denmark.A major key to this success is always being available to the public. If a person has a grotesque case and they aren't receiving any help from the government or police, they turn to Ekstra Bladet.
