Dagbladet

From Freepedia

Dagbladet is Norway's third largest newspaper with a circulation of 191,164 copies in 2002. The newspaper was founded in 1869, and its format was changed to tabloid in 1983. The word "Dagbladet" literally means "The daily paper".

Dagbladet is published seven days a week, and includes an additional feature magazine, Magasinet, every Saturday.

For a number of years Dagbladet has had a leading role within development of new editorial products in Norway. In 1990, the newspaper was the first in Norway to publish a Sunday edition in more than 70 years, and it was also the first of the major Norwegian newspapers with its own Internet web site in 1995. Over the past few years Dagbladet has had success with Magasinet as part of the Saturday edition. The magazine has a reader coverage of approximately 26% of the adult population of Norway.

Dagbladet also runs one of Norway's largest websites, being slightly smaller than its main rival, Verdens Gang. The paper went online 8 March 1995, and is the oldest one still alive in Norway. By October 2005 it had 1.27 million weekly unique visitors and 83.3 million weekly page impressions [1]. The online edition is owned by the company DB Medialab AS, who also owns half of the Norwegian internet portal site and ISP start.no.
