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.
The foundation behind the newspaper, Jyllands-Postens Fond, defines it as an independent (centre-right) newspaper. The paper officially supported the Conservative People's Party until 1938.
In 2005–06, 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.
