## About

Norway’s newspaper of record since 1860, Aftenposten took 164 years to part ways with a publisher that bore the founder’s name. Now under the Tinius Trust after Schibsted’s 2024 demerger, the centre-right quality daily pairs long-form political journalism with one of the country’s most-listened-to news podcasts. Readers who want Oslo’s establishment view find it here; readers who want it explained in fifteen minutes download Forklart.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Tinius Trust (Stiftelsen Tinius), which completed its acquisition of Schibsted’s news media operations in 2024; previously owned by Schibsted ASA since the newspaper’s founding in 1860 by Christian Schibsted, who also established the Schibsted printing and media group
- **Funding:** Digital subscription model (Aftenposten+) combined with advertising; one of Norway’s most-subscribed paid news products, supported by Norway’s high-subscription media culture; print revenue continues to decline as digital subscriptions become the primary revenue base
- **Focus areas:** National Norwegian politics and governance, international affairs, culture, opinion and analysis; Oslo-based newspaper of record covering all major topics with emphasis on long-form journalism, investigative reporting and public-sphere accountability


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
