Grenmar (newspaper)

Last updated April 16, 2023

Grenmar was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Porsgrunn in Telemark county.

History and profile

Grenmar was started on 3 January 1878, after two trial issues in December 1877. It absorbed the much older newspaper Porsgrunds Blad in 1886 (and was named Grenmar Porsgrunds Blad for a while), and then Telefon which existed only from 1889 to 1890. Grenmar, which was conservative, got a liberal competitor in Porsgrunds Dagblad in 1914.^[1]

The newspaper stopped in April 1931. In September it was revived and synchronized with two other conservative newspapers in the district, Fylkesavisen (until then known as Fremskridt ) from Skien and Breviks Dagblad from Brevik. 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,^[1] and all in all lost most of its liberal colour, instead supporting the Conservatives.^[2]Grenmar's last edition was on 30 June 1954.^[1]
