Produksjonstilskudd for nyhets- og aktualitetsmedier

This scheme is published by Medietilsynet (the Norwegian Media Authority) on its Mediestøtte (media support) pages under the heading "Produksjonstilskott" (production grant). It is administered as part of Medietilsynet's media support schemes.

Medietilsynet states the purpose of the scheme verbatim as: "Formålet med ordninga er å legge til rette for ein brei samfunnsdebatt, og å halde befolkninga breitt og generelt orientert om ulike samfunnsspørsmål." In English: the purpose of the scheme is to facilitate a broad public debate, and to keep the population broadly and generally informed about various societal questions.

The grant is governed by the regulation named on the page as "Forskrift om produksjonstilskott til nyheits- og aktualitetsmedium" (Regulation on production grants for news and current affairs media).

Eligibility is described in terms of who the grant is given to. The page states verbatim that support under the regulation is given to news and current affairs media ("nyheits- og aktualitetsmedium") that, among other criteria, have as their main purpose to carry out ongoing journalistic production: "Tilskot etter denne forskrifta blir gitt til nyheits- og aktualitetsmedium som: har som hovudformål å drive løpande journalistisk produksjon...". The page lists further detailed criteria that applicants must meet.

The application deadline printed on the page is: "Søknadsfrist: 19. mars 2026" (application deadline 19 March 2026).

Applications are submitted through a digital form on Medietilsynet's "Min side" portal. The page states "Søknad skjer via digitalt skjema på Min side" with the link to the application portal at https://medietilsynet.my.site.com/.

The contact email address printed on the page for this scheme is produksjonstilskudd@medietilsynet.no.

The page does not state a minimum or maximum award, a funding rate, or a total budget figure in NOK, so those fields are left null. No scheme code label is printed on the page (the regulation is referenced by name only), so scheme code is null.
