Nils Vogt (журналист)

Nils Vogt в 1880 -х годах

Нильс Фогт (27 октября 1859 г. - 27 июня 1927 г.) был норвежским журналистом и редактором газет. Родившись в семье политиков и государственных служащих, он стал первым председателем Ассоциации норвежской прессы и Ассоциации консервативной прессы . Фогт проработал в консервативной газете Morgenbladet в течение 45 лет, выступая в качестве главного редактора с 1894 по 1913 год. Он написал многочисленные статьи в течение своей жизни, выступая за независимость от Швеции и стандарт риксмаля письменного норвежского.

Ранняя жизнь и образование

Нильс Фогт родился в Бергене в роли сына политика Нильса Петерсена Фогта (1817–94) и его жены Карен Магдалена («Кая») Андцен (1819–70). Среди предков Нильса Фогта было много политиков и правительственных чиновников. Его братом был Пол Бенджамин Фогт (1863–1947) и его вторыми двоюродными братьями были Йохан Фогт (1858–1932), Нильс Коллетт Фогт (1864–1937) и Рагнар Фогт (1870–1943). Выросший в Кристианне и Кристиании (сегодня Осло), он закончил свое среднее образование в 1876 году. Он закончил с Cand.jur. Степень в 1881 году после изучения права в Королевском университете Фредерика в Кристиании.

Journalistic and political career

After a brief stint in Statistics Norway, Vogt began devoting his life to journalism, picking up a job for the newspaper Morgenbladet. His decision to make a career within journalism was met with disdain among his peers and family. He worked in the beginning as sub-editor for the editor-in-chief Christian Friele, whom he succeeded in 1894. The press historian Rune Ottosen writes in Vogt's entry for Norsk biografisk leksikon that he "unfolded his wide journalistic commitment for politics" in the newspaper. Having a profound interest in the plays of Henrik Ibsen, Vogt also wrote theatre reviews for the newspaper. From 1905 to 1915, Vogt was a correspondent to The Times. He subsequently was correspondent to Stockholms Dagblad and other newspapers in Northern Europe.

"I have frequented Swedish political environments quite a bit, and have felt the pitying condescension when the big brother pats his little brother on the shoulder when he is a good boy and does what big brother wants him to do. This pat still burns me in the skin, and I wish to no more make myself deserve it."

Vogt in an article directed at Francis Hagerup.

When it came to politics, Vogt was a conservative with many liberal opinions. He disagreed with Francis Hagerup, who supported the Union between Sweden and Norway. In his political articles, he championed the Riksmål written standard and the policies of Michelsen's Cabinet.

Having founded the Conservative Press Association in 1892, Vogt was its first chairman, serving from 1892 to 1898 and from 1906 to 1909. He was also elected the first chairman of the Norwegian Press Association (NP), notwithstanding his controversial position in the press of Kristiania. In 1910, he penned an article for the periodical Samtiden entitled "Pressen og kapitalen" ("The Press and The Capital"), in which he made the distinction between newspaper editors who were solely motivated by profit and those who regarded the job as an ideal life mission. The article was reprinted in his 1913 book Under Frieles haand og paa egen.

In 1910, controversy arose in the NP when lawyer Olaf Madsen – who had cooperated with Ola Thommessen for more than 20 years at the newspaper Verdens Gang and was responsible for its economic decisions – wanted to have more dividend for his investments in the newspaper. Editor Ola Thommessen considered this to be an inappropriate intervention in the editorial part of the newspaper, and took his staff with him and started a new newspaper named Tidens Tegn. Vogt supported Thommessen in his decision, and came at odds with the chairman of Morgenbladet's board, lawyer and politician Edmund Harbitz. Both left Morgenbladet in the summer of 1913 as a result of the disaccord, although Vogt continued as theatre and literature critic in the paper until his 1927 death. As editor, Vogt was succeeded by C. J. Hambro.

Marriage, honours and death

On 6 November 1884, Vogt married Helena Andrea Ottesen (1861–1906). Acting as Norwegian president in the Nordic press partnership, he attended the press meetings in Kristiania in 1899 and in Copenhagen in 1902. He was also delegated to the international press congresses in Stockholm (1897), Rome (1899) and Berlin (1909). He was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1907. He was also a knight of the Danish Order of the Dannebrog and the French Legion of Honour. Vogt died in Aker (now Oslo) on 27 June 1927.
