Amedia AS is a Norwegian media group, considered the country’s largest newspaper publisher.
The company owned by the Amedia Foundation.[1] In 2024, the group had more than 100 local, regional and national titles, in addition to 20 partner newspapers. In December 2024, the company acquired the Danish media house Berlingske Media[2] and also holds a share in the Swedish media company Bonnier.[3]
Amedia was established in 2012 through a merger of the media groups A-Pressen and Edda Media. Ownership has changed several times, including in 2016 when Sparebankstiftelsen DNB took over ownership from the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), Telenor and the Freedom of Expression Foundation (Fritt Ord), and subsequently established the Amedia Foundation as the new owner.
The group previously operated printing activities in Russia, but transferred these in 2022 to editor Dmitry Muratov and the newspaper Novaya Gazeta.[4]
In recent years, Amedia has undergone a major digital transformation. Several of its newspapers have reduced their print editions, and a large part of its subscriber base is now digital-only. In 2020, the company launched the subscription service +Alt,[5] which provides access to content from more than 100 newspapers. Amedia is also the majority owner of Moderne Media,[6] a company that produces and distributes podcasts and offers advertising solutions.
The chief executive officer of Amedia is Anders Opdahl, while André Støylen is director of the Amedia Foundation and chair of Amedia’s board.
