Gjøviks Blad

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Gjøviks Blad was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Gjøvik in Oppland county.

It started on 9 October 1860 under the name Kristian Amtstidende. It was sold in 1877 and renamed to Gjøviks Blad from 1 January 1884. The newspaper supported the Liberal Party, but was found by some liberals to have a too conservative leaning. Johan Enger therefore started a competing liberal newspaper in Gjøvik, Samhold, in 1885.[1]

The owner, bookprinter Fredrik Olsen Lange, was succeeded by his son

Vestopland (from 3 January 1921). Lange remained editor until 1945.[1]
