Klassekampen

Klassekampen (Lit. translation: "The Class Struggle") is a Norwegian daily newspaper in print and online. Its tagline is "The daily newspaper of the Left". The paper's net circulation was 33,265 in 2022, and it has around 111,000 daily readers on paper (160,000 on Saturdays). This makes it the third largest Norwegian print newspaper, based on readership. Chief editor from 2018 is Mari Skurdal.

It started out in early 1969 as a monthly periodical published by a group of Oslo-based Marxist-Leninists, with Pål Steigan as a key founder and Anders M. Andersen as the first editor. Part of the alternative media landscape of the era, it promoted the positions of the Workers' Communist Party (AKP; founded 1973) and its predecessors. Klassekampen became a weekly in January 1973, a bi-weekly in January 1976 and finally a daily newspaper in April 1977. It was the official organ of the AKP until April 1991. Its mission statement now describes itself as "revolutionary socialist." As with most Norwegian newspapers, it relies on financial support from the Norwegian government.

Klassekampen has received a varied reception over time. It has been commended for its in-depth cultural coverage, labor-oriented reporting, and platforming of voices outside the mainstream media consensus. At the same time, it has faced criticism for promoting Russian propaganda narratives, transphobia, and, in the past, for antisemitism. Its editor has denied accusations of transphobia.
