Øyvind Strømmen

Odd Mehus

Øyvind Strømmen (b 1980, Norway) is a Norwegian journalist, translator and author. He has studied right-wing extremism for many years, publishing several books on this subject and on radicalism.

After the terrorist atrocity at Utøya in 2011, Strømmen was in demand as a commentator. He devoted the subsequent months to commenting and writing on the perpetrator’s ideological inspiration, and was named Freelancer of the Year for his work on charting and monitoring Islamophobic groups on the web.

His book Giftpilen. Konspirasjonsteorier og deres ødeleggende kraft appeared in 2021. Strømmen writes there about how conspiracy theories threaten public debate and social relations.
