- Abstract
The aim of the article is to shed light on the political role of the former 'party press' in general election campaigns compared with the role of modern, non-party papers in Norway. The discussion is based on a content analysis of the election coverage in two local newspapers in the elections campaigns in 1981 and 2005. The question concerning the campaign coverage of the two party papers in 1981 is if - and if so, to what extent - factors like professional journalistic values or audience and market interests served to balance a biased, partisan profile. As to 2005, the question concerning the non-party papers becomes whether, and if so, to what extent - factors like historical roots and present ideological platforms still influenced their priorities and positions.
