Svalbardposten, founded in 1948, is a Norwegian online newspaper with one monthly paper edition.

It operates from Longyearbyen in Svalbard, Norway, and is published the first Friday in the month.

The award is handed out by the LLA, the organisation of local newspapers in Norway.

After some economically tough years in the 1980s, the Norwegian Ministry of Justice intervened to save the paper.

After several years of seeing the numbers drop in paper subscribers and rising numbers of online subscribers, the news paper in November 2023 cut down their weekly edition to one edition in the month.
