Morgenposten

It was the largest newspaper in Norway from the 1870s until the early 1900s, when its name was Christiania Nyheds- og Avertissements-Blad, also nicknamed Sværta.

[1] Thoralf Pryser edited the newspaper from 1918 to 1946,[1] with exception from the last period of the German occupation of Norway, when he was replaced by the Nazi editor Olav Botolv Feiring from 1943.

In 1946 a trial, the so-called "prøvesaken", was held, in order to decide the questions of possible confiscation of profits during the war years.

The trial was an important part of the legal actions against the press that followed World War II, as it had implications also for the treatment of other newspapers that had cooperated with the Nazi authorities.

[3] The Supreme Court decision from 1948 resulted in a confiscation of NOK 170,000.
