Gnisten
''Gnisten'' ("The Spark") was a Norwegian periodical published by the Communist Party. ''Gnisten'' was started in March 1925 after a lengthy fund-raising campaign. It was started by women in the Communist Party who were not satisfied with the coverage of women's affairs in the Communist Party newspapers, such as ''Norges Kommunistblad''. The periodical did reasonably well under its first editor Jeanette Olsen, and avoided financial problems in the first years. The periodical faced a steep decline when Olsen left the Communist Party and ''Gnisten'' in early 1928. The issues came more sporadically, and financial problems rose until the periodical went defunct in 1930. The party had two other periodicals around the same time: '' Klassekampen'' for the Young Communist League of Norway, and ''Proletaren ''Proletaren'' (meaning ''The Proletarian'' in English) was a Norwegian periodical published by the Communist Party.
