Ságat
Ságat is a Sámi newspaper written in Norwegian that is published in Leavdnja in Porsanger Municipality, Finnmark county, Norway.
History and profile
[edit]Ságat was founded in Vadsø in 1957[1] and moved to Leavdnja in 1981, where it still is based today. It maintains offices and reporters in Deatnu, Kárášjohka, Evenášši, Máttá-Várjjat, and Áltá, Norway.[2]
The editor since 1978 has been Geir Wulff. Since October 2008, the paper has published five days per week on weekdays.[3] Later it became a daily newspaper.[1]
Ságat had a circulation of 2,717 copies in 2007.[4] Although the original idea of the newspaper was that it should have articles written in both Sámi and Norwegian, today it uses Norwegian almost exclusively in its articles.
