Adresseavisen is a regional newspaper published in Trondheim, Norway daily, except Sundays. It is an independent, conservative newspaper with a daily circulation of approx. 85,000.
The newspaper was first published July 3, 1767 as "Kongelig allene privilegerede Trondheims Adresse-Contoirs Efterretninger", making it the oldest Norwegian newspaper still being published. The name has changed several times before the newspaper got its present name in 1927. Locally it is sometimes referred to as "Adressa".
Martinus Lind Nissen (1744-1795) was the founder and first editor of Adresseavisen. At his death, Nissen was succeeded by Mathias Conrad Peterson, a French-oriented revolutionary pioneering radical journalism in Norway. Later editors, however, have been more conservative. In Peterson's age the paper was renamed "Trondhjemske Tidender" (roughly "Trondhjem Times") and began to look more like a modern newspaper. Changing names, owners and profile several times during the 19th century, the paper was named "Trondhjems Adressavis" in 1890. Its first press picture was seen in 1893. During the 1920s, the paper nearly bankrupted, but it was saved by the new editor, Harald Torp, who had the position until 1969. Adressavisen became the first Norwegian newspaper to use computer technology in 1967. Its website was launched in 1996. Editor-in-chief since 1989 is Gunnar Flikke.
In addition to the main newspaper, Adresseavisen own several smaller local newspapers in the Trøndelag region. They also run a local radiostation, RadioAdressa, and are involved in a local television station and a new national radio channel, Kanal 24. They also have a section on the local football club Rosenborg.
