Friheten (English: Freedom) is a Norwegian language biweekly newspaper, published by the Norwegian Communist Party (NKP).
Friheten was founded illegally in 1941 during the German occupation of Norway due to World War II.[1] The founders were the members of the communist wing of the resistance movement.[1] The paper was started as a news sheet by the group and became a regular newspaper with the publication of its first issue on 14 May 1945.[1] After the liberation in 1945 it emerged as the official party newspaper.
It is the last party-dependent newspaper left in Norway. The paper has its headquarters in Oslo.[2]
The editor is Harald Øystein Reppesgaard.
