The Norwegian American (NA) is a newspaper that publishes material contributed by writers from Norway and the Norwegian American community. The Norwegian American is distributed on a monthly basis by mail to thousands of subscribers in the US, Canada and other parts of the world. Prior to May 2016, the paper was distributed on a weekly basis and was known and the Norwegian American Weekly.
NA continues what was once a very strong tradition of Norwegian American newspapers, as detailed by Pr. Odd Lovoll in his book Norwegian Newspapers in America: Connecting Norway and the New Land.[1] At their height, Norwegian American newspapers had large local circulations and most of their content was in the Norwegian language. As such, Norwegian language newspapers formed part of what was once a very important body of non-English language periodicals.
