{{short description|Defunct newspaper from Møre og Romsdal, Norway}}
'''''Fylket''''' ({{lit|The County}}) was a [Norwegian](/source/Norway) newspaper published by the [Center Party](/source/Centre_Party_(Norway)) in [Molde](/source/Molde_(town)) from 1927 to 1999.<ref>Moen, Eirik.

In 1999 it had a circulation of just over 1,700 newspapers, nearly 1,000 fewer than the year before. The reason for the drop in subscribers was mainly changes in calculating the circulation. The [supplement](/source/Supplement_(publishing)) ''Landbruksnytt'' was previously counted as part of ''Fylket'''s circulation.<ref>''Stamm 1997: Presse- und Medienhandbuch: Leitfaden durch Presse und Werbung = Annual Directory through Press and Advertising = Guide annuaire à travers la presse et la publicité''. 1992.

''Fylket'' was owned by the agricultural organizations in Møre og Romsdal. Major structural changes in its owners contributed greatly to the paper's closure.
