Den danske Spectator (Danish: The Danish Spectator) was one of the earliest magazines published in Danish language. It existed between 1744 and 1745 and was established by Jørgen Riis.[1][2] The headquarters of the weekly magazine was in Copenhagen.[2] It was a literary review,[3] but it frequently contained writings on censorship, freedom of speech and motivations to write.[2]
