Fredrik Ramm

He was born in Oslo as a son of chief physician Fredrik G. O. Ramm and Anna Margaretha Brinchmann.

[1] After participating as the only journalist [3] in Roald Amundsen's North Pole expedition in May 1925,[4] he became news editor in Morgenbladet from 1928.

[1] He is especially known for the article "En skitten strøm flyter over landet" (A Dirty Stream Flows Over the Country) on 28 October 1931, an attack on Gyldendal Norsk Forlag's novel contest in 1931.

He especially lambasted the runner-up, the radical intellectual writer Sigurd Hoel, but also Hans Backer Fürst, Rolf Stenersen and Karo Espeseth.

[8][9] After his death in 1943, on November 29, 1944, a special dramatic tribute to Ramm, And Still They Fight was presented at The New York Times Hall.
