Schibsted media and digital services

Schibsted is a prominent Norwegian media group with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1839 by Christian Schibsted. Originally a publishing house, it has evolved into a powerhouse for news and digital marketplaces across the Nordic region. In 2024, the company underwent a significant structural change, splitting into two distinct entities: an unlisted media company (owned by the Tinius Trust) and a public digital marketplaces company (now known as Schibsted Marketplaces or Adevinta in some contexts).

Manufacturing or operations primarily take place in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, where the group maintains dominant positions in online classifieds and journalism. The ownership is characterized by the Tinius Trust, which was established by Tinius Nagell-Erichsen to ensure the long-term editorial independence and financial stability of the group's media outlets like Aftenposten and VG.
