The founder and first editor-in-chief of Tidens Tegn was Ola Thommessen, who edited the newspaper until 1917.[2] Thommessen had recently left the editor chair of Verdens Gang in protest, bringing much of Verdens Gang´s staff with him.[3] From 1917 to 1938 the editor-in-chief was Rolf Thommessen, son of the founder.[4] Another son Bjørn Thommessen was central as well.[3] Jonas Schanche Jonasen edited the newspaper from 1938 to 1940,[2] when he fled from the country to Great Britain.[5]Ranik Halle was editor from 1940 until the newspaper was discontinued in 1941.[2]
The newspaper achieved a bad reputation in the late 1920s and the 1930s. The paper published Vidkun Quisling's series of articles Russland og vi, and also early political documents from the Fascist party Nasjonal Samling. During the 1930s the number of subscribers decreased significantly, the newspaper had financial problems, and editor Rolf Thommessen was forced to resign.[6] The new editors did not want to continue the publication during the German occupation of Norway, and Tidens Tegn was discontinued in 1941.[7] One of the editors, Jonas Schanche Jonason, had to leave Norway for London during this period.[8] In 1945 a new newspaper with an old name, Verdens Gang, took over Tidens Tegn’s properties.[2]
