Amandus Schibsted
Amandus Schibsted's grave
Amandus Theodor Schibsted (5 May 1849 in Oslo, – 7 May 1913) was the owner and chief editor of Aftenposten. He inherited the news paper from his father, Christian Schibsted, in 1879, but worked as a journalist in the same news paper from 1871. During his leadership the news paper developed to be Norway's leading and most widespread conservative daily. He gained distinction through well-organised, quick and reliable news service.
When Amandus died in 1913, his wife (1849–1933) took over the ownership in the newspaper.
Amandus Schibsted is buried at Vår Frelsers gravlund in Oslo.
