This paper analyzes the presence of interest groups in the administrative, the parliamentary and the media arena in Denmark. The research question focuses on the role played by group resources and group researches in explaining group access to arenas. Empirically the paper draws on a large-scale investigation of group presence in different political arenas in Denmark in 2009-10. The data combines information about: 1) group membership of public boards and committees, 2) group ap-proaches to parliament and 3) group presence in two national news papers. These different data are linked to survey responses from interest groups enabling an analysis of both the linkages between arenas and the explanatory power of group resources and other group characteristics.
