Nationen was founded in 1918.[1] The paper primarily targets farmers and the agrarian sector, with focus on district politics, farming, commentaries and features. It is based in Oslo with offices in Trondheim and Fagernes, and edited by Mads Yngve Storvik. The newspaper relies heavily on freelance journalists for regional coverage.

The newspaper is fully owned by Tun Media, which is controlled by the Norwegian Agrarian Association, TINE, Nortura, Landkreditt, and others.[1][2] Tun Media works to promote the interests of Norwegian agriculture and rural districts.[2] The media group also owns other publications, such as Bondebladet.
