In 1990 the company established TradeWinds and in 1993 TDN Power, now EuroPower. In 1996 Upstream was launched while Fiskaren and IntraFish.com were bought in 2001. In 2005 Business was bought and relaunched as Dagens it. The group's history is described in journalist Morten Møst's book Making Waves: The history of NHST Media Group (2015).

In February, the firm changed its name to DN Media Group.[2]
