Ny Tid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ny Tid is currently Norway's only international news magazine, published in Newsweek-format every Friday. Since the relaunch in January 2006, the independent magazine, regularly prints exclusive columns by writers like Noreena Hertz (Great Britain), Irshad Manji (Canada), Anna Funder (Australia), Shah Muhammad Rais (Afghanistan), Saskia Sassen (USA), and formerly the now-deceased Anna Politkovskaya (Russia). The magazine has a global outlook, but is for the time being only published in Norwegian. It covers politics, culture, environmental issues, and international affairs. With the October 27th-issue in 2006, Ny Tid created a large debate in Norwegian media about the definition of the word "Norwegian". The magazine ran a story on The Norwegian Language Council which in an e-mail to Ny Tid wrote that immigrants like Pakistanis never could be defined as Norwegians. On November 9th the Council retracted on its former statements, and issued an apology. The current editor-in-chief is Martine Aurdal. The editorial staff of about 20 is based in Oslo, while the correspondents are situated in five continents.
[edit] History
Ny Tid's predecessor was the weekly Orientering, which was founded as an independent weekly in January 1953. The paper got famous for having some of the best pens around, included Sigurd Evensmo (the first editor-in-chief), Jens Bjørneboe, and Johan Borgen. In 1975 Orientering was included in the new Ny Tid. From 1975 until 1998 the weekly paper Ny Tid was owned by the Socialist Left Party (SV). On January 24th 2006 the publishing house Damm, a part of Egmont, bought 100 percent of Ny Tid. On January 27th 2006 Ny Tid was relaunched as Norway's first news magazine.
