Telemarksavisa

Telemarksavisa is a Norwegian newspaper, published in Skien in Telemark county.

Telemark Arbeiderblad was started on 1 October 1921 as a reaction to the perceived moderate stance of Skien's labour newspaper Bratsberg Demokraten.

For a short time the Labour Party had no newspaper in Telemark, as Bratsberg Demokraten had been taken over by Communists in 1923.

In 1940, when the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany started, the newspaper was usurped by Nasjonal Samling and from September to October 1940 published as Telemark Blad.

In addition to Skien, it has offices in Notodden, Porsgrunn, Bamble, Bø i Telemark and Kragerø.
