Schibsted - the easiest way to the Norwegian people
Schibsted was founded in 1839, and has been working with news, entrepreneurship and innovation ever since. Today, we reach over 2.6 million people daily through some of Norway's biggest brands such as Aftenposten, VG, E24, Bergens Tidende and Stavanger Aftenblad.
In fact, half of all traffic on Norwegian websites goes through Schibsted, which means that we are a natural part of the lives of most people living in Norway. This contributes to us being able to deliver on our social mission: to finance and protect Norwegian democracy through a free press. When we also have a large and premium print portfolio, we dare to call ourselves Norway's largest media house.
