History and profile
NTB was established in 1867. In the early years it was privately owned. After World War I, the agency was acquired by AS Norsk Telegrambyrå, a limited company owned by a group of newspapers. Images have been part of our news services since 1932.
The agency has three main news services, covering domestic news, international news, and sports. It also provides special services within news graphics, video, culture, entertainment, feature, etc. Approximately 136 staff are employed by the agency. Pål Bjerketvedt was the editor-in-chief and managing director from 2004 to 2016; Ole Kristian Bjellaanes is the executive editor.
