'''"Orientering"''' was a newspaper which werewas started in [[1952]].

In [[1953]] the group from [[Norwegianthe LabourLabor Party|The's Norwegianleft Labour Party]] (NLP)wing won, leadedled by [[Karl Evang]]. EditorThe editor and spokesman for thisthe group was [[Sigurd Evensmo]], with [[Finn Gustavsen]] as secretarythe co-editor. They also gothad the support fromof oldthe Labour-party-peopleLabor Party, likesuch as the party's first [[prime minister]] of the party, [[CristopherChristopher Hornsrud]].
 
The group's party line was an alternative to the ___ ("the third standpoint"), critical of both [[Moscow]] and [[Washington]], an independent social standpoint. 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 (the Communist Party) and Washington (the Labor Party), and here Orientering could offer something new: independence, critical of both sides. Orientering was almost silent about the Labor Party's newspapers, something which contributed to increasing interest.
 
The newspaper was characterized by foreign affairs from the beginning, a key __ during the Cold War. Many viewed Orientering as the only alternative where international questions could be discussed freely. Questions regarding domestic policy grew in large degree after Finn Gustavsen became the editor in 1957. It climaxed with the question of the ___ of the atomic bomb 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, something which would become a reality through the establishment of the [[Socialist People's Party (Norway)]] in 1961. Gustavsen was one of the party's first two representatives to the [[Storting]] 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)]] 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.
