Media Review - Klassekampen

The story of Klassekampen, Norway's left-wing daily. Klassekampen, which means Class Struggle in Norwegian, was initially founded in 1969 the organ of the local Maoist party, but unlike other such newspapers that died as the radicalization subsided, it grew to become one of the country's leading dailies and its fastest growing one at that. It has a daily readership of 90,000 and sells 15,000 copies a day. Aslak Sira Myhre interviews the newspaper's former editor-in-chief Sigurd Alhern and current editor-in.chief Bjorgulv Braanen and other journalists at the paper, who explain what lies behind Klassekampen's success. teleSUR
