history

Before the Aftenposten , the first printed newspaper in Norway was the Norske Intellektiven-Seddeler and in 1819 the first daily newspaper in Norway was the Morgenbladet . The newspaper was first called Christiania Adresseblad , from New Year 1861 it was published as Aftenposten . While it was a rather apolitical news and advertising paper in the first few decades, it acquired an increasingly conservative profile in the 1880s. The journalistic skills of Amandus Schibsted (son of Christian Schibsted ), who ran the newspaper as editor-in-chief from 1879 until his death in 1913, further increased its popularity. Well-known Norwegians such as the composer Edvard Grieg were won over as employees.
In 1885 Aftenposten had a circulation of 6,500 copies and employed 56 people. As the competition with the Morgenbladet increased , the publication rhythm was changed in the same year. A morning edition and a Sunday newspaper were also published. The latter was discontinued in 1919, but revived in 1990. In 1889 a nationwide edition was started. This was first called “Aftenpostens ugeudgave” and was renamed “Ukens Nytt” in 1904. It was published until 1989, at the end in tabloid format. Since 1927 the newspaper has appeared on Fridays with the weekend supplement “A-Magasinet”, which was discontinued in 1944 due to a lack of paper.
Although Aftenposten in the 1930s repeatedly issued critical warnings about the dangers of the Nazi movement in Germany, at the end of the decade the newspaper tended towards Nazi-friendly articles. During the occupation by the German Reich , Aftenposten was converted into an organ of the collaborating party Nasjonal Samling under Vidkun Quisling . There was a censorship, all opinions had to be checked in advance by the Norwegian Reich Commissioner Josef Terboven .
In the final two years of the Second World War, both Nazi sympathizers such as the Nobel Prize for Literature, Knut Hamsun, wrote for the Aftenposten and editors who secretly wrote for illegal resistance newspapers such as London kl. 8 wrote.
After the war there were bitter discussions about the role of newspapers collaborating with the Nazis, such as the Aftenposten , as well as trials against editors for treason. The compensatory payments that newspapers such as the Aftenposten or the Morgenposten finally had to pay, sometimes only after court hearings at the end of the 1940s, were out of proportion to their income during the occupation. The historian Guri Hjeltnes said of these then kept secret profits in a later study about this time: "Hell would have broken loose had these numbers been known at the end of the forties."
The Social Democratic Arbeiderbladet , which was banned at the time, had to start from scratch. This inequality for the restart after the war continued in Norway's newspaper landscape. The publishing house of Aftenposten, Schipsted, bought the bankrupt Verdens Gang , which was founded in 1945 and which was about to go bankrupt, at a low price in 1962 , which then contributed significantly to its economic success.
