Dagens ETC markets itself to readers it describes as politically engaged opinion-formers and decision-makers in culture, media and politics.

Dagens ETC's reporting is regularly discussed by other major Swedish media outlets. For example, Aftonbladet's editorial page discussed a Dagens ETC investigation into Swedish media coverage of the Gaza war, citing its findings and responding to its conclusions.
