Breviks Dagblad

Last updated September 06, 2025

Breviks Dagblad was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Brevik in Telemark county. It was named Bratsberg Blad from 1891 to 1924.

It had a predecessor of sorts in the newspaper Telefon, started in Porsgrunn on 22 May 1889. It had the same editor as Skien newspaper Varden . Telefon went defunct after its last issue on 12 July 1890. The press in which Telefon was printed was bought by Georg Bye and moved to Brevik,^[1] whereas the rest of the newspaper was bought by Grenmar .^[2]

With his newly bought printing press, Georg Bye started Bratsberg Blad on 3 February 1891. In 1898 it absorbed the year-old competing newspaper Langesund Blad—Bratsberg Blad tried to cover Langesund, Stathelle and Kragerø in addition to Brevik. The name was changed to Breviks Dagblad on 1 July 1924. The newspaper itself considered this to be the start of Breviks Dagblad.^[1]

Breviks Dagblad was conservative. From September 1931 it was synchronized with two other conservative newspapers in the district, Fylkesavisen (until then known as Fremskridt ) from Skien and Grenmar from Porsgrunn. The newspapers had the same editor, and during parts of the Second World War a Nazi editor. Skien newspaper Varden bought the three in 1954,^[2] and all in all lost most of its liberal colour, instead supporting the Conservatives.^[3]Breviks Dagblad's last edition was on 30 June 1954.^[1]
