Lokalavisen Øyene AS

What Lokalavisen Øyene AS does

Lokalavisen Øyene AS is a privately held Norwegian local newspaper that serves the Nøtterøy and Tjøme islands in Færder municipality, Vestfold county. The publication delivers coverage of local municipal affairs, community events, sports, and neighborhood news to permanent residents and summer cottage owners in its geographic catchment. The company is operationally embedded within the Amedia regional newspaper network, Norway's largest local press group, which provides shared advertising platforms (Amediaannonse), subscription management (Plussalt/+Alt), and digital infrastructure.

The product portfolio centers on a print edition available both in physical paper and as a digital e-paper (Papiravisen via eAvis) and a free-plus-subscriber online news portal at Øyene.no. Supplementary modules — local job listings, real estate, a local business directory (derdubor), a multi-title Aviskiosk for e-editions, and a birthday-greeting service — extend monetizable surface area beyond core journalism. The business model is a hybrid of retail subscription revenue (digital and print) and local SMB advertising, with distribution and monetization infrastructure operated centrally by Amedia. Technical delivery relies on Amedia's content management and image delivery stack (Aptoma/Lumina).

The company employs 8 people and is led by responsible editor (ansvarlig redaktør) Tor Aslesen. No external investment, public listing, or acquisition signals are present in the available data. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
