Tingakrossur

The first copy of the paper was published on January 1, 1901[1][2] and it ceased publication in 1990.

[1] The avowed purpose of the paper was to promote education and fight against oppression.

Poetry and prose held a central place in the newspaper, and the first Faroese novel, Rasmus Rasmussen's Babelstornið (The Tower of Babel, 1909), was published serially in it.

A cross-shaped bidding stick was carried to summon people to the Løgting at Tinganes.

[3] Many of the newspaper's editors were leading politicians in the Home Rule Party.
