Samhold

Samhold was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Gjøvik in Oppland county.

It started on 1 January 1885, by Johan Enger who felt that the existing Liberal Party organ Gjøviks Blad was too conservative.

[2] Under ownership of the Agrarian Association, the newspaper was merged with Gjøviks Blad to form Vestopland, signalizing its geographic anchor in the region Vest-Oppland.

The allegiance shifted from Liberal to Agrarian, and under editor-in-chief Torstein Lange, formerly with Gjøviks Blad, it became increasingly Nazi-friendly.

After the occupation, which ended together with World War II in 1945, the entire staff save for journalist Erling Espeland were indicted for treason.
