Stavanger Aftenblad, also known as Aftenbladet, is the most popular newspaper in Southwestern Norway. Published in Norwegian language. The name of the newspaper translated into English means «Evening Stavanger». It was founded in 1893 by a local priest to promote Christian values in the region. The best years for the publication were in the post-war period. The newspaper has long represented the interests of the Liberal Party of Norway and the Venstre party, but today its political line seems to be more free.
The newspaper's head office and editorial office are located in the city of Stavanger in southwestern Norway, and the publication has an entire building at its disposal. Stavanger is not only a city, but also a municipality of the same name in the Rugaland district on the southwestern coast of Norway, the country's oil capital. «Aftenbladet» is considered the leading periodical information publication here, the main daily newspaper. Stavanger Aftenblad has a section in English, because this publication is read not only in Norway, but also in other countries, for example, in the United States for representatives of the local diaspora.
