Christianssands Tidende Explained

Christianssands Tidende (Kristiansand Times) was a conservative newspaper published in Kristiansand, Norway.

The paper was founded in 1883^{[1] [2]} and ceased publication in 1973.^[1] The paper took over the newspaper Mandals Avis in 1956, and then it merged with Sørlandske Tidende from Arendal in 1973, also adopting that name.^[1] Publication of the merged newspaper continued for two years in Kristiansand, and the last issue appeared on October 4, 1975.^[1]

From 1924 to 1932, the paper was edited by Christian Joachim Rieber-Mohn (1891–1959), who had previously edited Molde Annonceblad.^[3] After Rieber-Mohn moved to Hamar Stiftstidende, he was succeeded by Reidar Alex Lorentzen as editor.^{[2] [4]}
