Glommen (newspaper)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glommen was started on 19 September 1888. It was published by Tollef Ellefssøn, and edited anonymously by Oluf Falck-Ytter. The newspaper was started as a competitor to the city's dominant, conservative newspaper Sarpen, and became even more outspokenly liberal with time. It had a sound economy and circulation, and it even helped other liberal newspapers in the county,[1] such as Halden which it helped press from 1931.[2]
The German occupation of Norway changed the situation. The last edition of Glommen came on 1 October 1941, and then it was stopped as a part of the Germans' press policies. It never returned.[1]
