Northern Sweden

What Northern Sweden does

Nordsverige is a regional newspaper serving the Ångermanland region of northern Sweden, covering the municipalities of Kramfors, Sollefteå, Örnsköldsvik and surrounding areas. Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Bredbyn, the publication operates as a wholly owned subsidiary within the VK Media group alongside sister titles Västerbottens Mellanbygd, Västerbottningen, and Lokaltidningen. Its primary customer segment is local residents of Ångermanland seeking hyper-local news, sports (notably harness racing / trav and hockey), cultural coverage, and community information.

The product portfolio is a digital-first media platform centered on the nordsverige.se website, a weekly print edition published every Thursday, the e-tidningen digital newspaper, and native iOS/Android news apps. Supporting offerings include a bundled classifieds marketplace called Fyndtorget, seven segmented email newsletters (weekly summary, monthly business, weekly debate, and location-specific feeds for Kramfors / Örnsköldsvik / Sollefteå), and an audio newspaper (Tal-tidningen) for visually impaired subscribers. Underlying technology is a standard multi-format content delivery system with shared VK Media authentication (konto.vkmedia.se); no proprietary AI/ML components are described.

Revenue is generated through two subscription tiers sold direct-to-consumer: a digital-only subscription at 65 kr/month (promotional 10 kr for 2 months) and a complete print + digital bundle at 109 kr/month (promotional 79 kr for 2 months), with no binding period and self-service cancellation. Secondary revenue comes from advertising on the website and in print, plus free subscriber access to Fyndtorget classifieds. Sales are conducted via self-serve online checkout on nordsverige.se, with promotional campaigns aimed at subscriber acquisition. Financial figures (revenue, subscriber counts, headcount) are not publicly disclosed.
