Schibsted, a publicly owned company headquartered in Norway, was founded in 1839 and employs approximately 6240 individuals. The company operates various media brands, including VGTV in Norway, and specializes in internet marketplace platforms.
On February 17, 2026, Aftonbladet, a brand under Schibsted, expanded its services by entering national news radio. Previously, on February 15, Schibsted introduced a new disclosure functionality to facilitate the identification of edited photos, addressing concerns about images published out of context or with manipulative intent. This follows developments on February 3, when Schibsted, as the first media house in Sweden and Norway, began offering an ad valuation model. This allows users to pay a monthly fee to prevent their data from being collected for advertising purposes. This new ad selection option was introduced in response to tighter data requirements, which could cost Schibsted up to SEK 500 million, with Fredric Karén stating the company felt compelled to take this step.
