History and profile
editThe magazine was established as Norsk Skytter og Jægertidende in 1878.[2] The headquarters of the magazine was in Oslo.[3] It was restarted as a weekly magazine under the title Norsk Idrætsblad in 1881.[4] The magazine appeared with this title until 1915, and its subtitle was organ for alslags sport (Norwegian: Organ for all kinds of sport).[3] During this period David Didrichson, Sigvart Petersen and Hagbart Wergeland served as its editors-in-chief.[3]
It was then merged with another magazine entitled Sport and was renamed as Norsk Idrætsblad og Sport.[2] The magazine folded in 1925.[5]
The magazine came out weekly between 1881 and 1883, and then its frequency switched to biweekly.[3] It covered articles about both amateur and professional sports.[4] However, it mostly featured articles and news about skiing, particularly between 1881 and 1915.[1]
