What is "klassekampen"

Klassekampen is a Norwegian daily newspaper, which styles itself as "the daily left-wing newspaper".

Its circulation is 21,648 (2015). Since the year 2000 Klasskampen has more than trebled its circulation, in a period where most Norwegian newspapers have been in sharp decline.

Klassekampen's owners include Norway's Red Party, the association Klassekampens venner ("Friends of Klassekampen"), and several trade unions.

Klassekampen ('The Class Struggle') was a Norwegian newspaper. It was established in 1909 as an organ for the youth movement of the Norwegian Labour Party, Norges socialdemokratiske ungdomsforbund. Its editor-in-chief from 1911 to 1921 was Eugène Olaussen.

At the Labour-Communist party split in 1923, the newspaper was usurped by the Young Communist League of Norway. Its first editor-in-chief following the split was Jørgen Vogt. It ceased to exist during the German occupation of Norway in 1940, and did not resurface after the occupation.
