"The ownership must ensure freedom and independence for Schibsted's media outlets."

Tinius Nagell-Erichsen
The Tinius Trust was established by Tinius Nagell-Erichsen through the Trust Deed on the 8th of May 1996 and has a basic capital of NOK 42,862,184. Nagell-Erichsen had established Blommenholm Industrier four years earlier, the company to which he transferred all his shares in Schibsted. In 2006, the A-shares (voting shares) were transferred from Blommenholm Industrier to the Tinius Trust. Since 1 January 2026, the trust’s holdings have been organised under Tinius Media AS, a holding company that owns both Schibsted AS and Blommenholm Industrier AS.
Nagell-Erichsen stated that he wanted to use this influence to ensure that Schibsted remains a media group. Tinius Trust's main objective is to strive for the long-term sustainable development of Schibsted, to ensure quality and credibility in all its publications, and to maintain free and independent newsrooms, as stipulated in the Articles of Association.
When necessary, the trust shall also work in favour of and subsidise projects that impact the general conditions essential to ensuring a free and independent press.
