Einar Lunde
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Einar Lunde (born 13 March 1943) is a Norwegian news anchor.
He began in 1968 as a summer temp at NRK Dagsrevyen,[citation needed] and from 1970 to 2010 he was a regular news anchor.[1] For several years, he worked a part-time job arranging travels to Africa, a continent he had covered extensively as a journalist. Among others, he was reportedly the first Norwegian journalist to interview Nelson Mandela. In 2010, differences arose with the NRK leadership over this part-time job, causing Lunde to resign from NRK. He instead started his own company and also worked for First House.[2]
He was born in Oslo as a son of bishop Sigurd Lunde. He was raised in Stavanger, until the age of 10 when the family moved back to Oslo.[2] He took his education at Concordia College and the University of Oslo.[1] He now resides at Østerås, is married and has five children.[2]
