Norge Idag
Norge Idag ("Norway Today") is a Norwegian Christian newspaper that is being published in Norway's second-largest city Bergen. Editor-in-chief is Finn Jarle Sæle.
In cooperation with the television channel Visjon Norge, Norge Idag bought former cinema Forum Cinema on Danmarksplass in Bergen. There the newspaper's new offices are located after previously having been at Bønes.
Norge Idag is published once a week, and in addition to its publishing it also has made investments in a number of real estate projects.
Controversies
Among the editorial positions taken by the newspaper is opposition to legalizing gay marriage and gay adoption. The paper also served as a mouthpiece for Jan-Aage Torp when he encouraged Christians to use directed prayer in order to oust gays from positions of power.[1]
This call for a prayer campaign was discussed in a number of media, including Dagbladet.[2]
