Last week, SVT and SR banned employees from having the video app Tiktok on their business phones.
"The app provides more information than is deemed necessary," the statement read.
Now Schibsted's communications manager Atle Lessum writes in an email to Kulturnyheterna that Schibsted's journalists, who handle sensitive and source-protected information, are advised against using Tiktok and similar apps. However, there will be no formal ban.
App in political hot airUR also advises its journalists not to have Tiktok installed in the phone.
Lotta Edling at Bonnier News, which owns Dagens Nyheter and Expressen, writes that they have not issued a ban, but that they should be "restrictive with which apps are installed, check who the publisher is and reflect on whether it involves a risk".
Tiktok - which is mainly used by children and young people to upload short videos - is owned by Chinese Bytedance and has been banned in India due to the country's conflict with China. US President Donald Trump wrote earlier in August under a presidential order that Tiktok and Wechat would be banned in the US if they were not provided with US owners.
On August 24, Tiktok announced that they were suing the US government over the threat of a ban.
