Norran (previously named Norra Västerbotten)[1] is a Swedish language liberal newspaper published in Skellefteå, Sweden.
Norran was founded by a group of liberal newspaper enthusiasts led by Anton Wikström from Jörn in 1910.
It is published in Berliner format[3] in Skellefteå, and chiefly distributed in the northern parts of Västerbotten.
It has been published on the Internet since February 1996 and the main news service is freely available.
[4] In February 2023, as the new electric battery factory Northvolt started to recruit English-speaking staff from all over the world, Norran launched an English-language news service, Norran English, edited by former UK national newspaper journalist, Paul Connolly.
