History

Sandefjord got its first newspaper in October 1859, Sandemanden. This newspaper was only released for a year and a half.Kaldager, Johan (1981). Glimt fra dagliglivet i Sandefjord før 1900. Pages 2 and 14. ISBN 8299052017.Hoffstad, Arne (1983). Sandefjords historie - sett gjennem Sandefjords Blads spalter 1861-1983

/ref> Typographer and printer Hans Severin Iversen started the newspaper and printing press in Sandefjord on April 24, 1861. This newspaper initially used the name Sandefjords Tidende and traditionally represented the Conservative Party.Olstad, Finn (1997). Sandefjords historie. B. 2: En vanlig småby? Sandefjord kommune. Page 159. ISBN 8299379725.

During the German occupation of Norway, paper rationing as a consequence of World War II led the newly established Ministry of Culture and Enlightenment to force a merger between the newspapers Sandefjords Blad and Vestfold, beginning on September 1, 1940. The new newspaper received the name Sandefjords Presse and its last issue was printed on May 19, 1945.Olstad, Finn (1997). Sandefjords historie. B. 2: En vanlig småby? Sandefjord kommune. Pages 117 and 159. ISBN 8299379725. Olaf Bøe from Nasjonal Samling was appointed editor for Sandefjords Presse in 1944.Olstad, Finn (1997). Sandefjords historie. B. 2: En vanlig småby? Sandefjord kommune. Page 119. ISBN 8299379725.

German occupation

Despite heavy restrictions and many directives issued by the Quisling regime and Presseabteilung at the beginning of the German occupation of Norway, Sandefjords Blad operated as normal in the early days of the occupation. On August 29, 1942, the Ministry of Culture and Enlightenment ordered a merge of the two Sandefjord-based newspapers, Sandefjords Blad and Vestfold. The new newspaper was named Sandefjords Presse and its first edition was issued on September 1, 1942. The government’s reasoning for the forced merger was due to paper rationing as a consequence of the war. Editors for the new paper were Thoralf Granerød and Arne Hoffstad. Granerød was replaced by Øivind Vindal Christensen following Granerød’s death in 1943. The newspaper had a circulation of 7,700 as of September 7, 1942. Arne Hoffstad later escaped to Sweden in the fall of 1944 and Olaf Bøe was appointed editor by the press director for Nasjonal Samling, Anders Beggerud. News of Nazi Germany’s capitulation reached the city on May 7, 1945, and the editorial staff at Sandefjords Presse worked through the night and were able to publish a four-page newspaper on May 8. Through this process, Olaf Bøe had been removed as editor and replaced with former editor Øivind Vindal Christensen.Berg, Knut (1984). Sandefjords historie - sett gjennem Sandefjords Blads spalter 1861-1983. Bind II 1940-1983. Sandefjords blad og trykkeri. Pages 469-471 and 498. ISBN 8299070422.

During the occupation, roughly all staff members at Sandefjords Presse were helping with the production of illegal newspapers. Several illegal newspapers were also distributed by Sandefjords Presse. The last edition of Sandefjord Presse was published on May 19, 1945. Sandefjords Blad returned with its first issue on Whit Tuesday, May 22, 1945. Ole Lind became editor and Torleif Jacobsen assisting editor.Berg, Knut (1984). Sandefjords historie - sett gjennem Sandefjords Blads spalter 1861-1983. Bind II 1940-1983. Sandefjords blad og trykkeri. Pages 471-473. ISBN 8299070422.
