Trondheims-Pressen was a cooperative newspaper published in Trondheim, Norway in the period May 8 to May 12, 1945 by Arbeider-Avisen, Nidaros and Adresseavisen.
The common newspaper was established after the peace of World War II when the resistance and the London-government pressed the newspapers to make common papers until those that had been closed during the German occupation could have time to reestablish themselves. The closed newspapers were to be allowed to use the production facilities of the other newspapers to prohibit the newspapers that had not been stopped during the war to get an edge on their competitors. In Trondheim two of the three remaining newspapers had been stopped; Arbeider-Avisen and Nidaros. Newspapers that voluntarily had let themselves be nazified had been stopped, and so Dagsposten was abandoned.
The resistance decided that the stopped newspapers to a greatest possible extent were to be common newspapers with neutral names and editors approved of by the resistance to meet the enormous need for information in the peace days. The editors were informed about this already in April and had ample time to plant this. Transition arrangements were made to insure that journalist from both stopped and continued newspapers could cooperate to make the newspapers and at the same time could plan their own papers. It was the newspapers that had come out during the war that "had" to make equipment available. The resistance had force ready for those who denied. This was though not a problem
There was a lot of focus on the capital, Oslo, and the conditions there, and Oslo-Pressen was published as a common newspaper there. But also other places got their common papers from May 8 and the next few days, like Askim-Pressen, Fellesavisen (Lillehammer), Fellesavisen (Harstad), Fredrikstad-Pressen, Den frie Rørospresse, Fritt Norge (Drammen), Halden-Pressen, Hamar Frie Presse, Mosjøpressen, Romsdalspressen (Molde) og Sarpsborg-pressen.
