Ny Tid (Trondheim)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ny Tid was a

Norwegian Labour Party in Trondheim when the labour movement took over the paper in July 1900. The paper was first released weekly, but from 1902 on it was released daily.[1]

The purpose for publishing was to propagandize the publishers' political view. Martin Tranmæl was a member of the first editing committee as a 20-year-old, and in 1906 became the editor of the paper. He held the position of editor until 1918, when he became party secretary for the Norwegian Labour Party.

It was under Tranmæl that the newspaper expanded. After Tranmæl left as editor, Ny Tid became a radical opposition newspaper.

In 1921, the Norwegian Labour Party split, creating a

Arbeider-Avisen
.

Ny Tid marketed themselves in the 1930s as an opponent of the

Nazis and Fascism. After the Spanish Civil War
broke out, Ny Tid wrote on their front page "Lys fascismen og krigen i bann. Fram til antikrigs og antifascistmøte i morgen på Reina".

The circulation of Ny Tid fell along with the communist's lowering support, especially after

cabinet
came to power in 1935. The Nygaardsvold government created increased support for the Norwegian Labour Party in Nygaardsvold's part of the country; the Arbeider-Avisen profited from this.

In March 1939, Ny Tid was shut down while having competition from Arbeider-Avisen.[1]

NKP's increased popularity after the

Second World War, gave a resurrected circulation to Ny Tid. The newspaper continued circulating until July 1945, but shut down for the second time in eight years in May 1947.[1]
