History and profile

[edit]

Syn og Segn was founded in 1894, and Rasmus Flo and Arne Garborg were the first editors.[2] The magazine is published in Nynorsk quarterly[3] by Det Norske Samlaget, and has been important for the development of the Nynorsk as a cultural language.

Olav Midttun was the editor-in-chief for over fifty years, from 1908 to 1960. Fagernes-based Knut Aastad Bråten was editor from 2014 to 2020, succeeding Bente Riise who had served in the post since 2006. Astrid Sverresdotter Dypvik has edited the magazine since 2020.[2]

The number of subscribers was largest in the 1960s when it reached about 13,000. In 2004 the number of subscribers was about 2,500.[4] The circulation in 2004 was about 3,100.

In 2010 the magazine was named "Periodical of the Year" in Norway by the Norwegian Association of Journals.[5]
