Waldemar Carlsen
Waldemar Carlsen (29 February 1880 – 1966) was a Norwegian novelist, newspaper editor and politician.
He was born in Kristiania, and moved to Solør at a young age.[1] He was the editor-in-chief of local labour newspaper Solungen from 1910 to 1913,[2] and then applied for jobs in other newspapers, such as the editorship in Demokraten in June 1913. He did not prevail there,[3] but edited Fremover from 1913 to 1916 and Glomdalens Arbeiderblad from 1916 to 1925.[2] Glomdalens Arbeiderblad became affiliated with the Communist Party in 1923. Carlsen remained in the editor chair until he quit his job in 1925 because he did not receive wages anymore. The newspaper was declared bankrupt in 1926 and disappeared in 1927.[4][5]
He was a member of the executive committee of Kongsvinger city council.[2] In the 1930s he was a travelling agitator, and founded many trade unions. He was also active in the temperance movement.[1] He also published several novels, such as Dragsug (1910), Orion (1911) and Jernnæven (1913), and the travelogue Herjetog i syd og nord (1919).[2][6] He spent his last working years as a school janitor in Kongsvinger. He died in 1966.[1]
