Resett
Norwegian website / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Resett, also known as Resett.no, was a Norwegian online newspaper, which publisheed news and op-ed content. The website was launched in 2017 with Helge Lurås as editor-in-chief. Resett aimed to "present cases from a different angle than established mass media, and to cover news that other media do not want to cover".[1] The newspaper closed operations in December 2022.[2]

In July 2018, the newspaper claimed around 30,000 unique readers per day.[3]
In June 2022, Maria Zähler became the editor-in-chief after Helge Lurås.[4] When she was appointed, she declared that she wants to make Resett to "a center-right, realpolitik newspaper, with common sense as a guiding principle" and "to establish a decent newspaper on the right of Norwegian center".[5] Maria Zähler is transgender, and has written about her transgender experience.[6]
In October 2022, Resett was bought by the Norwegian investor Petter Inge Remøy. Remøy stated that he wanted to save the economically challenged newspaper so that it can produce honest journalism.[7]
Before Resett was established, Editor-in-chief Helge Lurås was a critic of Norwegian military campaigns abroad.[8] His scepticism is also expressed in Resett in their published analysis of NRK's coverage of the civil war in Libya.[9]
Resett states that it follows the Ethical Code of Practice for the Norwegian Press, but its application for membership in the established media organizations in Norway has been rejected.[10][11]
