Nina Johnsrud (born 16 February 1959) is a Norwegian journalist who works as a crime reporter for the Oslo newspaper Dagsavisen.
She has worked for the Lindesnes, Bergens Arbeiderblad, VG, Østlandets Blad and Klassekampen before starting as a journalist in Dagsavisen.
[3] She became involved in reporting on crime when she covered the conflict between the Young Guns and B-gjengen (English: The B-gang) gangs after a man was killed at Tøyen in 2001.
In a commentary shortly after the incident, Aftenposten wrote that if Johnsrud had been targeted for her journalistic work, it "represented a grim new era in Norwegian journalism".
[3][9] On 12 October 2012, Johnsrud wrote an article in Dagsavisen about Islamists associated with the Profetens Ummah group attending a course for prospective hunters.
[10] Shortly after the article was published, Johnsrud received an email from Hussian which she perceived as threatening.
[13] Editor Kaia Storvik in Dagsavisen decided to remove Johnsrud from covering Profetens Ummah and related subjects.
