''Aftenposten'' (Norwegian for "The Evening Post") is Norway's largest newspaper. It retook this position in 2010 from the tabloid ''Verdens Gang'' which had been the largest newspaper for several decades. It is based in Oslo. The morning edition, which is distributed across all of Norway, had a readership of 658,000 in 2013.〔(Readership of Norwegian print newspapers 2013 ) Media Norway ©2014〕 In addition, the paper had an evening edition, which was only distributed to the populous central eastern part of Norway. The evening edition was subsumed into the morning edition in 2013. ''Aftenposten'' has a long tradition of serious journalism, and is by many considered to be the leading Norwegian newspaper. Strong competition in a shrinking market has made the paper opt for a broader appeal, however, as signified by the conversion from broadsheet to compact format in March 2005.〔Ingrid Brekke (4 May 2013): (Tabloid i form, men ikke i sjel ) Aftenposten, Retrieved 14 June 2013〕 Aftenposten's online edition, Aftenposten.no, averages more than 78 million page views per month. ''Aftenposten'' is a private company wholly owned by the public company Schibsted ASA. The paper has approximately 740 employees. Espen Egil Hansen is editor-in-chief as of 2014. ==History and profile== ''Aftenposten'' was founded by Christian Schibsted on 14 May 1860 under the name ''Christiania Adresseblad''. The following year it was renamed ''Aftenposten''. Since 1885 the paper has printed two daily editions. A Sunday edition was published until 1919, and was reintroduced in 1990. The Friday morning edition carries the ''A-magasinet'' supplement, featuring articles on science, politics, and the arts. In 1886 ''Aftenposten'' bought a rotary press, being the first Norwegian newspaper in this regard. Historically, ''Aftenposten'' labelled itself as "independent, conservative",〔 most closely aligning their editorial platform with the Norwegian Conservative Party. This manifested itself in blunt anti-communism during the inter-war era. During World War II ''Aftenposten'', due to its large circulation, was put under the directives of the German occupational authorities, and a Nazi editorial management was imposed. ''Aftenposten'' is based in Oslo.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.schibsted.com/global/annualreport/annual_report_2012_low%20ok.pdf )〕 In the late 1980s Egil Sundar served as the editor-in-chief and attempted to transform the paper into a nationally distributed newspaper. However, he was forced to resign from his post due to his attempt.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aftenposten」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
