Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace

Seat in Strasbourg

Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, commonly known as DNA, is a regional daily French newspaper covering the Alsace region. It was created in November 1877 as (Elsäßische Neueste Nachrichten) by German Heinrich Ludwig Kayser.

It is part of East Burgundy group Rhone Alpes (EBRA), formerly France or East Media Group Est Républicain. Its headquarters is located at 17 rue de la Nuée-Bleue in Strasbourg since July 13, 1871.

Its daily circulation in December 2009 was 180,000 copies, 85% of subscriptions, making it the first newspaper in Alsace. It includes 18 local editions which is a record for a zone of restricted diffusion. The newspaper is also published in German, although the Alsatian dialect is not a written language for the Alsatians German (about 10% prints).

The DNA employs about 850 staff and 200 journalists in the Upper Rhine and Lower Rhine. In 1995, it became the first French daily newspaper to have online presence.
