Tvedestrand og Omegns Avis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tvedestrand og Omegns Avis was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Tvedestrand in Agder county.

Tvedestrand og Omegns Avis was started in 1902. It stopped in 1940, but returned in 1945. It went defunct in 1948.[1]

The newspaper once rivalled the Tvedestrandsposten in the mid-1900s, providing a conservative response to its progressive counterpart.[2] It is reported that Arne Garborg, a founder of Tvedestrandsposten, was concerned of its growth as a newspaper associated with the Conservative Party.[3]
