St. Paul, MN. page 363 In 1996, the Norwegian investment company that owned the Norway Times wanted to sell it, but the employees purchased the paper to keep it alive. The paper continued to serve its readers for another decade before it merged with Western Viking and the resulting publication became The Norwegian American in 2006.

Odd Lovoll in his book ''Norwegian Newspapers in America: Connecting Norway and the New Land''.
