A History of the Norwegian Press, 1660-2015

Meer over het boek

The book explores the transformative impact of printed pamphlets in 19th-century Norway, which fostered a shared language and public discourse among diverse coastal communities, including farmers and fishermen. It highlights the dramatic increase in publication titles from a few to over a hundred during the century, and notes the growth of newspapers from 1900 to 1940, culminating in the two hundred seventy titles that persist today. This evolution reflects the changing landscape of communication and community engagement in Norwegian society.
