History
In 1839, Christian Michael Schibsted founded the publishing company Chr. Schibsteds Forlag and in 1860, he started publishing the newspaper Christiania Adresseblad, from 1885 known as Template:Lang. In 1966, Schibsted also acquired Template:Lang (VG). These were Norway's two largest newspapers, with VG surpassing Template:Lang in 1981. In 1989, under the leadership of Tinius Nagell-Erichsen, Schibsted went from being a family-owned company to a corporation, and was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 1992. From 1992 to 2006, Schibsted owned part of TV 2, and in 2004 Schibsted bought part of TV 4 Sweden. While retaining its newspapers division, the company later shifted its focus from television to Internet classifieds/marketplaces, such as Template:Ill, Template:Ill,Template:Ill,<ref name="snl" /> and InfoJobs.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2021 Schibsted acquired Template:Ill and Template:Ill.
