Ingvald Jacobsen

Ingvald Bernhoft Jacobsen (15 April 1891 – 1 February 1945) was a Norwegian newspaper editor.

He was born in

Tiden in 1921.[1]

In 1923 there was mounting differences between two wings in the Labour Party, and Jacobsen was deemed too Moscow-friendly by the party members who controlled Tiden. He was fired from the editor position in Tiden in anticipation of a party split, and that way it was prevented that Tiden fell into control of the Moscow-friendly wing.[2] When the Moscow-friendly Communist Party was established later in 1923, Jacobsen joined them.[1]

He was hired in the communist newspaper Ny Tid in 1924, and was a board member of the Communist Party in Trondheim.[1] He stayed in Ny Tid until 1936,[3] except for a period as acting editor of Arbeideren og Gudbrandsdalens Arbeiderblad in 1927.[4] He afterwards returned to the Labour Party and its newspaper in Trondheim, Arbeider-Avisen, where he worked for one year. He edited Tiden again from 1937 to 1938 before returning to Arbeider-Avisen.[3]

During the

Dora concentration camp, where he died in February 1945.[5][6] He was married and had two children.[5]
