Øyavis (the Island Gazette) was a local Norwegian newspaper published in Midsund in Møre og Romsdal county.
[1][2] The first issue of the paper appeared in March 1983,[1][3] after which the paper was published once a month[2] with local material from Midsund, covering the local population as well as people that had moved away from the municipality, until it ceased publication in March 2016.
The newspaper was published in Nynorsk and its editorial office was in the upper floor of the municipal building in Midsund.
The idea for the newspaper was conceived in the teachers' staff room at Midsund Primary School.
Five teachers laid the foundation for the paper later called Øyavis: Ola Agnar Grønskag, Ole Arild Bøe, Kåre Bjørn Huse, Arve Misund, and Odd Fremstedal.
