Encyclopedia
Porsgrunds Blad was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Porsgrunn

county.
Ugeblad for Porsgrund og Omegn was started as a weekly newspaper on 1 May 1846. It struggled economically, and was auctioned in late 1848. From 4 January 1849 its name was Posttidende ("Postal Times"), from 1858 Porsgrunds Blad.
It was first apolitical, then conservative-leaning, but from 1878 it faced competition from a more clear-cut conservative newspaper, Grenmar
. After a short time when Porsgrunds Blad tried a liberal agenda, it went defunct in 1886 and was absorbed by Grenmar. Its last issue came on 31 March 1886.
