Jacob Olai Olsson Skylstad (26 March 1888 – 3 July 1986) was a Norwegian newspaper editor.
He edited the Agrarian organ in Trondheim, Nasjonalbladet. In 1941 he had joined the Fascist party Nasjonal Samling and was installed as editor-in-chief of the city's dominant newspaper, Adresseavisen. He remained editor-in-chief with remarkably Nazi-friendly editorials until the end of the Second World War in 1945.[1]
In the legal purge in Norway after World War II Skylstad was tried for treason in Frostating Court of Appeal. He was found guilty and in 1947 sentenced to fifteen years of forced labour, 35,000 kr in confiscation, 47,000 kr in compensation and loss of voting rights.
