John Anderson (publisher)
John Anderson (March 22, 1836 – February 24, 1910) was a Norwegian-American publisher.
John Anderson was born at Voss in Søndre Bergenhus Amt, Norway. He was the son of Anders Knudsen Saue (1806–49) and Ragnhild Samsonsdatter Øen (1812–97). He was brought by his parents to Chicago in 1845. His father subsequently died in the cholera epidemic in 1849. Anderson soon became an errand boy in a shop and delivered newspapers for the "Commercial Advertiser". This led to a position as an apprentice typographer at that publication.
John Anderson subsequently worked for the "Chicago Tribune". Anderson decided in 1866 to leave the "Chicago Tribune" to start his own company.
In 1866, Anderson founded "Skandinaven", a weekly or semi-weekly Norwegian language newspaper together with Iver Lawson (1821-1871) and Knud Langeland (1813-1888). Lawson was principally an investor. Langeland was the newspaper's first editor, while Anderson took care of the business side of the business. Anderson purchased the subscription lists of "Norske-Amerikanerne", a failing Norwegian language newspaper. Langeland and Lawson left "Skandinaven" in 1872 and established "Amerika", a rival paper. "Skandinaven" merged briefly with "Amerika" in 1873 to form "Skandinaven og Amerika". Starting the 1870s "Skandinaven" published a magazine that contained articles of interest, stories, and poetry. It carried works by Norwegian-American writers including Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen and Rasmus B. Anderson. In 1901, John Anderson was knighted by King Oscar II in the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav for his work in "Skandinaven". 
"Skandinaven" became one of the most influential and successful newspapers in the Scandinavian immigrant community. Through the success of the paper, Anderson was able to build a publishing business that became one of the largest venture of its kind. The newspaper was in operation from May 1866 until October 1941. When "Skandinaven" suspended publication, Reidar Rye Haugan established the Norwegian language newspaper "Viking" on which he served as both editor and publisher.
