'''''Orientering''''' was a [[Norway|Norwegian]] newspaper which was initially published in December 1952 as an alternative voice.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Henrik G.

There were many reasons for establishing the newspaper, but the most important was perhaps that it had become very difficult to express viewpoints which were critical of [[NATO]] and western [[capitalism]] in general.
In
The group's party line was an alternative to the third way, critical of both [[Moscow]] and [[Washington DC]]. ''Orientering'' was therefore opposed to Norwegian membership in NATO, but also gave extensive independence in the imperialism suitable for analysis of international relations. The main current of Norwegian [[socialism]] in the 1950s was polarized between Moscow ([[Communist Party of Norway]]) and Washington ([[Norwegian Labour Party]]). ''Orientering'' was almost silent about the Labor Party's newspapers, something which contributed to increasing interest.
▲In [[1953]] the group from [[Norwegian Labour Party|The Norwegian Labour Party]] (NLP) won leaded by [[Karl Evang]]. Editor and spokesman for this group was [[Sigurd Evensmo]], with [[Finn Gustavsen]] as secretary. They also got support from old Labour-party-people, like the first [[prime minister]] of the party, [[Cristopher Hornsrud]].
The newspaper was characterized by foreign affairs from the beginning. Questions regarding domestic policy grew in large degree after Finn Gustavsen became the editor in 1957. It climaxed with the question of the proposed stockpiling of atomic weaponry in Norway when the national congress in the Labor Party passed a resolution in 1961 allowing for this.
The key people in the inner circle of ''Orientering'' considered starting a new party, which would become a reality through the establishment of the [[Socialist People's Party (Norway)|Socialist People's Party]] in 1961. Gustavsen was one of the party's first two representatives to the [[Storting|Norwegian Parliament]] and relinquished the role of editor to Evang. ''Orientering'' became the advocate of the Socialist People's Party; at the same time the newspaper doubled its frequency to releasing a new issue weekly. The Socialist People's Party did not formally take over the newspaper until 1973. The editor from 1965 on was [[Kjell Cordtsen]].
In 1975-1975 assembly meetings were arranged between the parties on the left after the Socialist People's Party's success in the election of 1973. The establishment of the [[Socialist Left Party (Norway)|Socialist Left Party]] was approved and would replace the Socialist People's Party, the Norwegian Communist Party (who later withdrew) and the Democratic Socialists with support from a number of independent socialists.
In connection with this process, ''Orientering'' was discontinued and absorbed into the Socialist Left Party's new party newspaper, ''Ny Tid''. From the beginning the circulation was several thousand, but this slowly grew to around 19,000 in 1974, while the last issue reached 16,000. The community surrounding ''Orientering'' continued in and around ''Ny Tid''.
