Nordtrønderen Og Namdalen

''Nordtrønderen og Namdalen'' was a Norwegian newspaper published in Namsos from 1942 to 1994.''Norske aviser 1763–1969: en bibliografi''. 1973. Oslo: Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo, pp. 126, 127, 327, 363.

It was the result of a merger between three previous newspapers. The newspaper '' Namdalen'' was published in Namsos from 1899 to 1942, for the first 20 years under the name ''Namdalens blad''. The newspaper ''Nordtrønderen'' was published in Namsos from 1883 to 1942. From February 1944 until May 1945 it was published under the name ''Fellesavisen Nordtrønderen og Namdalen''. The newspaper ''Namdalens Folkeblad'' was taken over by ''Nordtrønderen og Namdalen'' in 1964, which then changed its name to ''Fellesavisa''. The newspaper reverted to its original name in 1978.

The newspaper was not discontinued during the Second World War, and after the war it had twice the circulation as its competitor ''Namdal Arbeiderblad''. By 1966, ''Namdal Arbeiderblad'' had a circulation of 4,382, whereas ''Nordtrønderen og Namdalen'' had a circulation of 5,957. Twenty-five years later, in 1991, ''Namdal Arbeiderblad'' was three times the size of its competitor.''Mål og midler i pressepolitikken: utredning fra et utvalg oppnevnt 1991''. 1992. Oslo: Statens forvaltningstjeneste, p. 22. In its last years, the newspaper was published as a local version of ''Trønder-Avisa'' with much shared material.Høst, Sigurd. 1995.
