Hordaland Folkeblad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hordaland Folkeblad (lit. 'The Hordaland People's Gazette') is a local Norwegian newspaper published in Norheimsund in Vestland county.[1]
The newspaper was established in 1873[1] and is one of the oldest local newspapers in Norway. It covers news in Kvam Municipality and the Jondal area of western Ullensvang Municipality.[1] Hordaland Folkeblad is published twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and appears in Nynorsk. Locally, the newspaper is often referred to as Skaaralappen ('Skaar's slip')[2] after Nils Nilsson Skaar (1852–1948), who became the paper's editor in 1878[3] and its sole owner in 1889.[1] The current editor is Sigbjørn Linga, who assumed the position in 2013.[3]
