The success continues. On a handful of occasions before, Dagbladet has invited politicians and most people to a meeting and discussion in the square in front of the Storting.
This year’s host will be political journalist and head of Dagbladet’s political department, Steinar Suvatne. He therefore follows in the footsteps of Oddvar Stenstrøm who led the broadcasts during the municipal elections in 2019.
Promises tight pace
– Forward with the boxing gloves. Valgboden is the country’s foremost arena for sharp political debate and clear answers, says political journalist Steinar Suvatne, head of reporting for the political department in Dagbladet.
This is the fifth election on the rap where Dagbladet hits the big drum and invites the political elite to journalistic dance from Eidsvolls plass.

– No tough waltz is danced here, but rather a fast rumba with quick turns and a high tempo, says Suvatne, who promises political push and response to the indictment.
Not fog talk and sausage tissue
When politicians come to Dagbladet’s polling station, they encounter a zero tolerance for gossip, sausage tissue and empty words.
– We do not simply accept empty talk, says Suvatne, and adds:

– Valgboden thus rests on the shoulders of Dagbladet’s tradition as a newspaper for clear and strong opinions. Our commentators are the best in the country, and they will arrest politicians who meet themselves at the door.
Climate is becoming central
It is essential for Dagbladet’s political journalists to talk about the issues people care about. Valgboden does not have a 45-minute lecture on the EEA Agreement’s climate technical specifications, but we will explain why the climate fight is big now, and what separates the climate policy of the parties.
– When we make political TV in Dagbladet, it is the ordinary people we have in mind, not consultants in Barcode.

– We have all the biggest names, the sharpest debates, and all party leaders. It is simply not possible to go to the polls in Norway without visiting Dagbladet’s polling station. Politicians have learned that, says Suvatne.
– Will create engagement
It was commentator Martine Aurdal in Dagbladet who started Valgboden, which quickly became a success for the newspaper, and a platform the politicians naturally found to be a part of.
– When I first received the editor – in – chief’s blessing to start this project, we had no idea what we were going for, says Aurdal:

– 2013 was the year when editors-in-chief learned to apply powder and we made all-day TV broadcasts about politics for the very first time. It was a success, but we have learned a lot since then. Now we enter the election campaign with a program we know will capture the viewers and create engagement.
She promises that this year’s broadcasts will be sharper than ever, with the toughest duels, dice rolls live and our brand new boast bowl.
– I am very happy that we have Steinar Suvatne as program manager this year, and the party leaders can be afraid of being put to the wall by him. Everyone else can just rejoice.
Watch on Dagbladet TV
Dagbladet TV prepares broadcasts in Valgboden until the day after the election. There will be meetings with Prime Minister Solberg, all the leaders of parties in the Storting, politicians and other socially engaged voices.
– There will be tabloid interviews, figures and forecasts, fresh duels and current debates that concern most people.
Still do not believe in Vedum
This is what project manager for Valgboden Tanja Wibe-Lund, department manager at Dagbladet TV, says.
– Valgboden has become an institution in Dagbladet’s election coverage, and will be closed for the 5th time this year. The goal is for the broadcasts and content created here to be both useful and informative for viewers leading up to the election.
Marathon broadcast election night
Dagbladet’s political department works intensely to convey the latest news from the political scene and reveal what you did not know about the game behind the scenes.
With explanatory graphics, modern web-TV operation and a tabloid, news-oriented foundation, the content is broadcast live from Valgboden’s tailor-made studio at Eidsvolls plass.
On election night itself, 13 September, there will be a marathon broadcast.
– We will take the viewers through everything that happens, with numbers, forecasts, speeches, events from the election vigils and the latest news – until the last vote is spoken and the result is clear. Is there someone you should keep up with in the election coverage and on election day it is Dagbladet, says Wibe-Lund.
