Mons Klingenberg Gjerløw

Mons Klingenberg Gjerløw (11 November 1850 – 1935) was a Norwegian editor.

He was born in Aurland as a son of Jens Larsen Gjerløw and Anne Marie Nitter Ohnstad. He was a brother of Ragnvald Gjerløw. He took secondary education as well as the entrance exam at the university, but then followed a career in the press. His first article was printed in Almuevennen in 1867. He became the editor-in-chief of Illustreret Familielæsning in 1882. From 1 January 1884 to November 1885 he was the editor of Bratsberg Amtstidende, from 1 December 1885 to 1913 editor of Fremskridt, and from 1913 editor of the self-published magazine Kikut.[1]

He was a conservative person, and steered his newspaper Fremskridt in such a direction. He was also known for his petites and causeries. Articles were collected and published in 1880, twice in 1883 and in 1893.[1] Also in his time, Fremskridt absorbed the struggling Bratsberg Amtstidende, in 1901.[2]

In October 1895 in Skien he married Sophie Borchgrevink.[1] He was an uncle of Olaf Gjerløw, another conservative newspaper editor, and of Lilli Gjerløw. He died in 1935.[3]
