History and profile
[edit]Avisa Nordland was established in February 2002 through a controversial merger of the two competing newspapers Nordlandsposten and Nordlands Framtid.[1] Avisa Nordland has its headquarters in central Bodø, and until 2013 occupied most of the bank Nordlandsbankens former premises. In addition it has regional offices in Fauske, Oppeid, and Ørnes.
In 2013, the newspaper moved its headquarters to a new office building in Bodø called Central Atrium.[2]
