Anders Møller Opdahl (born March 20, 1979) is a Norwegian journalist, newspaper editor and media executive. He has been chief executive officer (konsernsjef) of Amedia, Norway's largest publisher of local newspapers, since August 10, 2020. Before that he was editor-in-chief of the Tromsø newspaper Nordlys from 2011 to 2016, spent six months as regional editor for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) in Northern Norway in 2016, and was an executive vice president in Amedia's group management from December 2016 to 2020.[1][2]
Opdahl grew up in Finnmark, Norway's northernmost county, and began his career as a reporter at Finnmark Dagblad, the news agency Avisenes Nyhetsbyrå and Dagbladet. He spent about 12 years at Nordlys, was its news editor from 2005 to 2011, and succeeded Hans Kristian Amundsen as editor-in-chief in 2011.[1][3] His editorship included a push into digital subscriptions, sponsored content and web television, and also the 2014 controversy over the viral news site Buzzit, which Nordlys launched and which Opdahl later admitted had gone wrong.[4]
As Amedia's chief executive, Opdahl has led the foundation-owned group through a period of acquisitions and cross-border expansion. Under him it bought the Danish publisher Berlingske Media from DPG Media in December 2024, formed a cross-ownership alliance with the Danish regional group JFM in October 2025, and took majority control of Tun Media, the publisher of Nationen, in 2021.[5][6][7] Amedia reported revenue of NOK 5.0 billion and EBITDA of NOK 593 million for 2025.[8]
His tenure has also drawn criticism. The most prominent case was the abrupt removal of the editor of Avisa Oslo in September 2022, for which Opdahl publicly apologised.[9] As of October 2026 Opdahl remains Amedia's chief executive.[10][11]
Early life and education
Opdahl was born on March 20, 1979, in Lakselv, in Porsanger Municipality in Finnmark.[1] He grew up in the village of Skoganvarre in the same municipality. The journalist and politician Hans Kristian Amundsen, who later became his mentor and predecessor at Nordlys, also came from Skoganvarre.[3] In a 2017 interview with the trade paper Journalisten, Opdahl said he first went online one autumn evening in October 1993, connecting to a node in Brønnøysund with a US Robotics modem, and joked that he had never really logged off since.[12]
According to a profile in the Argentine newspaper La Nación, Opdahl holds a degree in journalism and has further training in digital media and editorial leadership. The profile does not name the institutions.[13]
Career
Early journalism
Opdahl began as a journalist at Finnmark Dagblad in Hammerfest, then worked for Avisenes Nyhetsbyrå (ANB), the Oslo news agency of the A-pressen newspaper group, and for the national tabloid Dagbladet.[1] The La Nación profile describes him as a reporter and newsroom manager at Finnmark Dagblad, a journalist for A-pressen in Oslo, and DagbladetTemplate:'s correspondent in Northern Norway.[13] When he left the paper in 2016, Journalisten reported that he had worked as a reporter and middle manager at Nordlys, Finnmark Dagblad, ANB and Dagbladet.[14]
Nordlys
Opdahl spent about 12 years at Nordlys, the largest newspaper in Northern Norway, published in Tromsø and then part of the A-pressen group, later renamed Amedia.[14][11] He was news editor from 2005 to 2011.[1] During those years he worked closely with Amundsen, the paper's editor-in-chief. In a public tribute after Amundsen's death in July 2018, Opdahl wrote that he had never worked more closely with anyone, and that Amundsen had been his conversation partner, teacher and friend for 20 years.[3]
When Amundsen left journalism for politics in 2011, Opdahl succeeded him as editor-in-chief.[3][1] Helge Nitteberg, who later succeeded Opdahl, served as his news editor and deputy from 2010.[15]
New digital products
In 2014 Nordlys launched several new websites and services. Besides Buzzit, a viral news site aimed at a national audience, these included the debate site Nordnorsk debatt, the news site Nord24 and the web channel NordlysTV. In December 2014 Opdahl said NordlysTV had about 30,000 unique viewers a week and around 10,000 a day after two weeks on air, and that the paper planned a televised bingo game to raise income. He argued that media companies willing to invest with some patience would come through the industry's structural crisis best.[4]
Opdahl also embraced sponsored content. From the start of 2015 Nordlys had a commercial unit, Nordlys Lab, which produced paid content that resembled journalism. The unit reported to the paper's managing director, not to the editor. Opdahl told Journalisten in August 2015 that the paper could not afford to turn its back on this income, but had to make sure the work did not undermine its credibility.[16] In October 2015 he decided that such material would be labelled reklame (advertising) instead of "sponsored content". He said the old label could mislead readers who expected editorial material, and called for the industry to agree common standards.[17]
Opdahl also took part in the group's regional management. In January 2016 the group made him acting regional director for Northern Norway from February 15, 2016, after the managing director of Nordlys, Ronni Møller Pettersen, resigned. In that role he chaired the boards of the group's northern companies: Lofot-Tidende, Lofotposten, Fremover, Finnmark Dagblad, Finnmarksposten, Finnmarken and Nordlys. He said the most important task was to grow digital reader revenue, and that Nordlys had gained 103 new subscribers in a single day.[18] Earlier, in January 2015, he had helped recruit Arne Reginiussen as editor of the group's three Finnmark newspapers.[19]
NRK, 2016
On February 29, 2016, Opdahl told Nordlys staff that he was leaving to become NRK's regional editor for Northern Norway. This was a new post, created as part of a restructuring, that put him over NRK's three district newsrooms in Nordland, Troms and Finnmark. He told Journalisten that no other job in the region gave editorial authority over three newsrooms. He said it was the right time to go, pointing to rising digital subscriptions, steadier advertising revenue and Amedia's new owner.[14] Nitteberg was named his successor at Nordlys in June 2016.[15]
Opdahl started at NRK around the end of May 2016.[20] In October 2016 he set up a joint investigative team, called På, with one journalist each from NRK Nordland, NRK Troms and NRK Finnmark, plus NRK Sápmi. He said the aim was to set the national agenda from the north.[21]
Six months into the job, on December 8, 2016, it was announced that Opdahl would return to Amedia. He said the stay had been shorter than he intended, but that he could not turn down the new opportunity. He described NRK as the country's foremost guarantor of a shared Norwegian public sphere. District director Grethe Gynnild-Johnsen said she regretted the departure but understood it.[20]
Amedia group management, 2016 to 2020
Opdahl rejoined Amedia as executive vice president (konserndirektør) for content and product development, a newly separated area in the group management.[22] The department, set up less than a year earlier, used reader analytics to improve the content of the group's newspapers and to develop new digital products. Chief executive Are Stokstad called Opdahl "a distinctive and innovative leader". Opdahl said Norwegian journalism depended on delivering unique and relevant content that people were willing to pay for. He said his job was to help the editors, who would still make the decisions.[23] According to NRK, the role gave him overall responsibility for content and development across the group's more than 65 media houses, and he moved his family to Oslo for it.[20] In April 2017 he said he was still commuting to Tromsø at weekends.[12]
In this period Opdahl spoke for the group on several initiatives. In December 2017 he said that more subscribers had let the group hire more journalists, and called journalism "the business model itself".[24] In May 2019 he announced a three-year deal with the Norwegian Athletics Federation that gave the group's newspapers exclusive streaming rights to the Holmenkollstafetten relay and a series of other athletics events.[25] In November 2019 he presented the launch of Nidaros, a new all-digital local newspaper in Trondheim that would compete with Adresseavisen.[26]
When the COVID-19 pandemic reached Norway in March 2020, Opdahl's group gave subscribers to any one of its papers access to almost all of its titles. Opdahl said news about the virus had universal relevance.[27] In April 2020 the group launched +Alt, a single subscription covering all its newspapers.[28] By July 2020 Opdahl's portfolio covered regional responsibility for the media houses, the consumer market and product development.[2]
Chief executive of Amedia, 2020 to present
On July 6, 2020, the Amedia board appointed Opdahl, then 41, as chief executive to succeed Are Stokstad. Stokstad had led the group since 2013 and had announced his departure in March. Board chair André Støylen said several internal and external candidates had been considered. He said Opdahl's strong publishing background and experience made him "the best and most forward-looking solution" for the group. Opdahl said he was humbled by the trust he had been given and that the group's newspapers played a decisive role in society.[2][29][30] He took office on August 10, 2020.[2] At the time the group had about 650,000 subscribers and almost 80 local media outlets. It is owned by the Amedia Foundation (Amediastiftelsen), which Sparebankstiftelsen DNB set up in 2016 to acquire the group.[2][11]
Expansion in Norway
Opdahl's first years as chief executive brought a series of Norwegian acquisitions and partnerships. In December 2020 Opdahl's Amedia agreed to buy the Asker and Bærum newspaper Budstikka in a deal that valued the company at NOK 130 million. Opdahl said the group was well placed to develop the paper through digitalisation and efficient operations.[31] Together with the new digital paper Avisa Oslo, he presented Budstikka as part of a push into the Oslo area. He said a national player needed a strong position in the fastest-growing city in Norway.[32]
In June 2021, under Opdahl, the group took a 66.9 percent stake in Tun Media, publisher of the agrarian daily Nationen and the farmers' union paper Bondebladet. The Norwegian Farmers' Union kept 24.8 percent and AS Nord Trøndelag took 8 percent. Opdahl said the purchase underlined Amedia's aim of securing journalism and media diversity across the country.[7] Before the deal, two Centre Party members of parliament, Per Olaf Lundteigen and Nils T. Bjørke, had urged the owners not to sell to a large media group.[33] The group also launched the digital local papers KRS in Kristiansand in summer 2023 and RA Stavanger in autumn 2024. In October 2025 it took full ownership of the three newspapers of KildeGruppen, including Hamar Arbeiderblad, after holding just over 20 percent since 2022.[11] In 2024 it bought the local papers Vaksdalposten, Hordaland and Kronstadposten, and sold its distribution business to Schibsted.[34] In 2026 the group bought the book publisher Aschehoug. It already owned most of Forlaget Oktober.[11]
Scandinavian expansion
Opdahl has made Nordic consolidation the centre of his strategy. In December 2021 Opdahl's group formalised a partnership with Bonnier News Local and Gota Media covering 55 Swedish newspapers. The group already owned 20 percent of Bonnier News Local, a stake dating from its joint purchase of MittMedia with Bonnier at the turn of 2018 and 2019. Opdahl said such partnerships were important for keeping a diverse local press across Scandinavia.[35][11]
On December 3, 2024, Amedia took over Berlingske Media, publisher of Berlingske, B.T., Weekendavisen and Euroinvestor, from the Belgian group DPG Media. Opdahl announced the deal at a press conference in Copenhagen.[5][36] He said Nordic media companies faced tougher global competition and were fighting technology giants for revenue and distribution, which made closer cooperation essential. He called Amedia and Berlingske Media "a perfect match". He said the purchase would let Amedia export its expertise in digital newspaper development, and that keeping Berlingske chief executive Anders Krab-Johansen was crucial for continuity.[5][37]
On October 15, 2025, Amedia, Berlingske Media and JFM, Denmark's second-largest private media group, announced what they called Denmark's largest media alliance. Amedia took 30 percent of JFM and JFM took 30 percent of Berlingske Media. JFM agreed to adopt Amedia's digital platform and IT infrastructure, and the partners planned a Danish version of +Alt. Opdahl called shared technology and commercial solutions the best answer to the dominance of global tech giants.[6] The Danish product, +Fri, launched in spring 2026 with access to newspapers owned by Berlingske Media and JFM.[8]
Russian printing operations
When Opdahl became chief executive, the group owned Prime Print, a chain of printing plants in Russia. On March 1, 2022, days after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Opdahl said Amedia was "shaken" by Russia's acts of war and intended to exit the Russian business as soon as possible. He called the process complex.[38] In April 2022 the group withdrew from its six Russian printing plants by transferring all control and shareholder rights to the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov.[11]
Sport, youth readers and platform disputes
Opdahl has made live sport a large part of the subscription offer. In December 2020 the group joined Schibsted and Polaris Media in a joint bid for Norwegian football rights, and Opdahl pointed to the three groups' combined reach and subscriber base.[39] In 2021 the group and Bonnier News Local bought three-year rights to France's Ligue 1, shown on Amedia's Direktesport service.[40] In September 2026 Opdahl hired Mads A. Andersen, then news editor of Dagbladet, to run Direktesport ahead of taking full exclusivity for the second-tier OBOS-ligaen from March 2027. The company described the OBOS-ligaen deal as one of the most significant sports agreements in its history. Opdahl said local sport had been at the core of the newspapers' public mission for more than 100 years.[10]
In June 2025 the group began offering free digital access to its newspapers to Norwegians aged 15 to 20. In the 2025 results announcement Opdahl said young people wanted news but demanded new formats such as audio and video. More than 82,000 young people had signed up, and the offer was extended to everyone aged 15 to 23.[8] In October 2026 the company joined NRK, TV 2, Schibsted and other Norwegian media companies in asking the Oslo District Court for an injunction against Meta's new terms of service. The media companies feared the terms would let Meta use their journalism without payment.[41]
Leadership and management style
Opdahl has described his approach as built on scale, central technology and protecting the editorial core. In a December 2025 interview with La Nación he said the group had a highly centralised system for technology, analytics, sales, finance and strategy, and that it hired top-level experts there who embraced its "platform philosophy". In the newsrooms, by contrast, the focus was on helping staff master new formats, use artificial intelligence efficiently and understand the group's analytics, which he said were widely shared across the organisation. He said that 90 percent of Amedia's page views came from logged-in users. This, he said, let the group personalise content across its newspapers without losing the newspaper's traditional broadcast role.[13]
Asked about the hardest decisions of the group's digital transformation, Opdahl pointed to the many cuts of the early 2010s and to the long effort of becoming data-driven and centralising all non-editorial functions. He called this a "marathon" that had not seemed intuitive 15 years earlier.[13] He has said he sees AI as a useful tool for efficiency and distribution as long as content stays factual and meets editorial standards. He has also warned that publishers who hand over their data, user relationships and content to technology platforms "will be eaten alive".[13]
He has often argued against clickbait. In 2017 he told Journalisten that respect for the reader was what mattered most for the future of journalism, and that headlines and mechanisms designed for clicks were "just friction". He said the best answer to fake news was real news based on facts, summed up as "show it, don't tell it", and he criticised what he called herd mentality in the Norwegian media. He said Norwegian journalists and media leaders too readily "cry wolf" about global disruption, even though the Norwegian market was a reference point for the rest of the world.[12] In 2025 he said that "the truth is a great business", but that it had to be brought to market in an intuitive way with a high-value user experience.[13]
Commentators have also noted his speed of decision. During the 2022 Avisa Oslo affair, Journalisten editor Roger Aarli-Grøndalen cited an interview from two years earlier in which Opdahl had said that when he decides something, "it goes very fast". Opdahl called it "a bit unfair" to take the remark out of context and apply it to the case.[42] In June 2021 he spoke at a debate on owner control and editorial independence. He said messages sent by the board chair of Nidaros to its departing editor had been "not at all fortunate" and were "not how we do it in Amedia". He added that any input from a board chair should come on the editor's terms.[43]
Major deals and strategic decisions
The main transactions and strategic decisions under Opdahl's leadership include:
- Budstikka (December 2020): purchase of the Asker and Bærum local paper, which had 22,000 subscribers and 2019 revenue of NOK 103 million, in a deal valuing the company at NOK 130 million.[31]
- Tun Media (June 2021): purchase of a 66.9 percent stake in the publisher of Nationen and Bondebladet, which had 2020 revenue of NOK 143 million.[7]
- Swedish partnerships (2021): formalisation of a partnership with Bonnier News Local and Gota Media, building on Amedia's 20 percent holding in Bonnier News Local.[35]
- Exit from Russia (March to April 2022): withdrawal from the Prime Print printing business, with control transferred to Dmitry Muratov.[38][11]
- Berlingske Media (December 2024): purchase of Denmark's Berlingske Media from DPG Media. The price was not disclosed in the announcement.[5]
- JFM alliance (October 2025): a cross-ownership deal under which Amedia took 30 percent of JFM and JFM took 30 percent of Berlingske Media.[6]
- KildeGruppen (October 2025): full ownership of Hamar Arbeiderblad, Stangeavisa and Lokalavisa Trysil-Engerdal.[11]
- Aschehoug (2026): purchase of the book publisher.[11]
Financial and market performance
Amedia is owned by a foundation and is not listed on a stock exchange, so it has no share price or market capitalisation. Its results, as reported by the company, were as follows.
In 2020, Opdahl's first year as chief executive, the group reported operating revenue of NOK 3.64 billion, down from NOK 3.75 billion in 2019. EBITDA rose to NOK 535 million from NOK 520 million, and profit before tax rose to NOK 375 million. Subscribers rose by 59,400 to 677,115, and all-digital subscribers grew 30 percent to 357,000, outnumbering combined print and digital subscribers for the first time. Advertising revenue fell 13 percent during the pandemic. Opdahl said the newspapers had furloughed much of their sales staff but had avoided furloughing journalists.[28]
In 2021 revenue rose to NOK 4.1 billion, EBITDA to NOK 624 million and profit before tax to NOK 492 million. Subscribers reached 723,000, of whom 416,000 were all-digital, and +Alt passed 160,000 subscribers.[40] EBITDA fell to NOK 287 million in 2023, when revenue was NOK 4.1 billion and profit before tax NOK 43 million. In 2024 EBITDA recovered to NOK 390 million and profit before tax to NOK 182 million, while revenue was NOK 4.0 billion after the sale of the distribution business. Operating costs fell by NOK 216 million, and the group's Norwegian newspapers ended the year with 705,000 subscribers, nearly 400,000 of them on +Alt.[34] With a full year of Berlingske Media, 2025 revenue rose to NOK 5.0 billion and EBITDA to NOK 593 million.[8]
Opdahl told La Nación in late 2025 that advertising made up about 25 percent of Amedia's revenue, that most of the rest came from readers, and that close to 70 percent of total revenue was purely digital.[13] According to Store norske leksikon, Amedia had close to 1,400 editorial employees in 2025 and owned 108 newspapers and websites in Norway, with 19 more partner papers.[11]
Board memberships and outside roles
In 2016 Opdahl served as the Norwegian Editors' Association's representative on the Norwegian Press Complaints Commission (Pressens Faglige Utvalg, PFU). The association nominated him in May 2016 and the Norwegian Press Association formally appointed him in June 2016.[44] By December 2016 he was the commission's deputy chair. He said he expected to step down as the editors' representative when he moved to Amedia's commercial management.[23] He had previously sat on the board of the Norwegian Editors' Association, according to its chair Harald Stanghelle.[45] As Amedia's acting regional director in 2016 he chaired the boards of the group's newspapers in Northern Norway.[18]
Opdahl often appears in public debates about media policy. In August 2026 he took part in a live podcast with Schibsted chief executive Siv Juvik Tveitnes at Arendalsuka, hosted by the trade magazine Kampanje.[46]
Controversies
Buzzit
In 2014 Nordlys launched Buzzit, a viral news website aimed at a national audience, with Opdahl as its editor. Journalisten wrote that the site was a traffic success but a failure in terms of press coverage. After Aftenposten began examining the material it published, negative stories followed one after another. In December 2014 Buzzit was moved into a separate Amedia company with Dan Granath as publisher, so Opdahl was no longer its editor. He said the autumn had been an enormous strain and admitted that "we messed up", adding that the paper had to own that and learn from it. That month the Press Complaints Commission cleared Buzzit in a case its secretary general had raised on her own initiative.[4] In October 2014 Opdahl defended and explained the site at a debate organised by the media club NONA at Oslo University College.[47] In August 2015 he acknowledged at a meeting in Oslo that some of the stories on Buzzit could not be regarded as journalism.[16]
The episode resurfaced in June 2016, when the editors' association nominated Opdahl to the Press Complaints Commission. Lars Birger Persen, news editor of the Sámi newspaper Ságat, called Buzzit "Northern Norway's biggest press scandal" and urged the Press Association to choose someone else. Stanghelle defended the choice. He said the association's board knew about "the missteps made in Tromsø" but trusted Opdahl's judgement.[45]
Political advertising in Nordlys
During the 2015 local election campaign, Nordlys published paid content for the Labour Party, including material about its candidates for Tromsø mayor and city government leader. Critics said it lacked clear labelling of who was paying. On August 27, 2015, after questions from Journalisten, Opdahl agreed that the Labour Party should be identified as the sender, and new labelling was added the same afternoon. He told the paper that companies and political groups would produce more of their own friendly content regardless, and that publishers had to decide whether to allow it on their own platforms.[16]
Avisa Oslo editor dismissal
In early September 2022 the editor and managing director of Avisa Oslo, Magne Storedal, was removed from his post without notice and replaced by Kristin Stoltenberg the next day. Staff described shock and anger. Opdahl, who was abroad at the time, at first declined to comment on internal matters.[48][49] It later emerged, and Opdahl confirmed, that he had personally told Storedal the group wanted a change of leadership before the paper's board was involved.[9]
On September 12, 2022, Amedia announced that Storedal would stay in the group in a new role, and Opdahl apologised to him for unclear communication. Reidun Kjelling Nybø, secretary general of the Norwegian Editors' Association, said the matter had "clearly been badly handled by Amedia from the start" and welcomed the apology.[50] Opdahl then apologised to the newsroom at a staff meeting, promised an evaluation, and said the communication should have been handled differently "in public, towards the employees and not least towards Magne".[9] In a podcast interview he said his lesson was to "tell it like it is, if you can". He said that management had tried, with good intentions, to soften an unpleasant message, which created room for speculation, and that "you cannot apologise just a little".[42] The case was briefly raised in his report to the Amedia board on September 20, 2022. Board chair Støylen said the board took the report into account and that editor appointments were not matters for the group board.[51]
Pay and labour relations
In April 2021 the Norwegian Union of Journalists named Amedia and NRK journalists the previous year's "wage losers", with pay growth of 1.3 percent. Amedia's group union representative, Eva Stenbro, said local settlements had been "strikingly similar" despite large differences in results between the papers. Opdahl denied that group management steered local negotiations. He said results and labour markets varied across Amedia's companies and that the negotiations were local.[52]
2021 cyberattack
In December 2021, about 16 months into Opdahl's tenure, Amedia was hit by a cyberattack that took down systems for several days. The company reported the attack to the police and notified the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, because the attackers had reached systems holding employees' personal data, including account numbers and national identity numbers. In a message to staff, Opdahl wrote that it would take time to get back to normal and that the company had to be patient.[53]
Personal life
Opdahl is married to Anna, whom he named in 2017 as the person he would most like to have breakfast with.[12] He moved his family from Tromsø to Oslo when he rejoined Amedia at the end of 2016.[20] In July 2018 he published a long public tribute to Hans Kristian Amundsen, who had died while jogging in Skoganvarre.[3]
