Nordisk Tidende was a Norwegian language newspaper in the United States founded in 1891 and closed in 1983.
[1] In 1996, the Norwegian investment company that owned the Norway Times wanted to sell it, but the employees purchased the paper to keep it alive.
The paper continued to serve its readers for another decade before it merged with Western Viking and the resulting publication became The Norwegian American in 2006.
In order to capture readers' interest, Nilsen filled his newspaper with drug rumors, scandals and popular gossip.
His successors imposed a higher standard and more professional journalism, and the newspaper evolved into a respected publication that could offer their readers cultural fabric and news from two continents.
