Nordlys ( Norwegian for Northern Lights or Polar Star ) is a daily newspaper published in the northern Norwegian city ​​of Tromsø . It reaches a circulation of more than 24,400 copies every day.

Nordlys is the largest newspaper in Northern Norway. It often provides a forum for the most important debates in the part of the country and is conceived as a regional newspaper for the whole of Northern Norway. However, the newspaper mainly reports on events that take place in Tromsø or Troms .

The editor-in-chief is Anders Opdahl. In addition to the editorial office in Tromsø, Nordlys has offices in three other locations in Northern Norway and works closely with other newspapers in the Nordland and Finnmark areas . The paper was founded on the island of Karlsøy by the pastor Alfred Eriksen. Its first edition appeared on January 10, 1902. The website of Nordlys is one of the ten largest Internet newspapers in Norway .

Nordlys is more like a left than a bourgeois newspaper. Since the last change in editor-in-chief, however, she has been relying more than before on a tabloid journalistic style.
