Norway: Saturday newspaper deliveries affected by supplier change
Aftenposten, 23 Oct 2016, online:-
Figures from the Norwegian Media Businesses' Association (Mediebedriftenes Landsforening, MBL) and network Helthjem show that at least 2,600 subscribers to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten will not receive home deliveries on Saturdays. The reason is the change in suppliers from logistics company Posten Norge to Norwegian logistics company Kvikkas, which will be responsible for Saturday deliveries starting on 5 November. In total, at least 35,000 Norwegian newspaper subscribers are likely not to get Saturday newspapers delivered. Espen Egil Hansen, editor-in-chief at Aftenposten, states that the issue lies with the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications, and that one has to ask why they have awarded the job to a company which did not place a realistic offer.
