Framgang (meaning "Progress" in English) was a Norwegian newspaper, published in Lillehammer in Oppland county.

History and profile

Framgang was started in 1886 as a Liberal organ for people affiliated with Vonheim Folk High School. Editors-in-chief were Johan Filseth and Matias Skard.[1] Skard left Vonheim in 1890,[2] and Filseth became the sole editor. By 1893, he had fallen into conflict with the people of Vonheim, and he left to found his own newspaper Gudbrandsdølen.[1] Framgang continued publication until 1896.[3]
