''Dagsavisen'' is a daily newspaper published in Oslo, Norway. The former party organ of the Norwegian Labour Party, the ties loosened over time from 1975 to 1999, and it is now fully independent. It has borne several names, and was called ''Arbeiderbladet'' from 1923 to 1997. ==History== ''Dagsavisen'' was established by Christian Holtermann Knudsen in 1884 under the name ''Vort Arbeide'' ('Our Work'), and was affiliated with the trade union center ''Fagforeningernes Centralkomité''. Holtermann Knudsen also had to establish his own printing press since the existing printing presses did not want to be affiliated with a labourer's newspaper. The fledgling project was marred by economic problems, and the burden of writing, editing, and printing lay chiefly on Knudsen. In 1885 the newly founded association ''Socialdemokratisk Forening'' formally took over the newspaper. The name was changed from ''Vort Arbeide'' to ''Social-Demokraten'' ('The Social Democrat') in 1886.〔 The next year, the Norwegian Labour Party was founded, and ''Social-Demokraten'' became its official party organ. Carl Jeppesen took over as editor-in-chief. In 1894 the newspaper was published on a daily basis, and in 1904 the financial balance was positive.〔 Around 1920 there were tensions in the Labour Party. The radical wing spearheaded by Martin Tranmæl and Kyrre Grepp had assumed control over the party at the 1918 national convention. The party aligned itself with the Comintern. As a result, a moderate wing broke out in 1921 to form the Social Democratic Labour Party. Nonetheless, ''Social-Demokraten'' remained affiliated with the Labour Party, as Martin Tranmæl assumed the editorship in 1921. In 1923, the same year as the Labour Party renounced the Comintern and the communist wing broke away, ''Social-Demokraten'' changed its name to ''Arbeiderbladet'' ('The Labour Paper') in 1923. The factionalism was contrary to the goal of Christian Holtermann Knudsen, who wanted to unite the fledgling labour movement.〔 In 1940, upon the German invasion and subsequent occupation of Norway, ''Arbeiderbladet'' was stopped by the Nazi authorities. The only legal party in Norway during the occupation, Nasjonal Samling, evicted ''Arbeiderbladet'' from its premises, using it as headquarters for its party organ ''Fritt Folk''. ''Arbeiderbladet'' Olav Larssen, imprisoned during the occupation, was promoted from news editor as he succeeded Martin Tranmæl as editor-in-chief in 1949. At that time, the editor-in-chief was elected by the national convention of the Labour Party, and the editor-in-chief was also an ex officio member of the party's central committee. This practice continued with editors-in-chief Reidar Hirsti and Einar Olsen, until abolished in 1975. From this point, the board of directors appointed the editor-in-chief. In 1974, Tor and Trygve Bratteli, aided by Jens Chr. Hauge, forced Hirsti out of his job.〔Njølstad p.515〕 ''Arbeiderbladet'' was formally owned by the Labour Party until 1991, when a separate, but affiliated, entity Norsk Arbeiderpresse took over. The labour-inspired name ''Arbeiderbladet'' was changed in 1997, to the neutral ''Dagsavisen'' ('The Daily Paper'). In 1999 the final step towards independence was taken,〔 as the newspaper was published by the public company Dagsavisen AS, which is in turn owned 100% by the foundation Stiftelsen Dagsavisen.〔 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「Dagsavisen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
