The Norwegian American

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 as the Norwegian American Weekly.

NA continues what was once a very strong tradition of Norwegian American newspapers, as detailed by Odd Lovoll in his book Norwegian Newspapers in America: Connecting Norway and the New Land. 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 an important body of non-English language periodicals.
