News Summary:

VGX is intensifying its efforts to develop a new news service aimed at young adults aged 18 to 30, a project initiated two years ago by Verdens Gang's management. This development follows earlier discussions in June 2026 on adapting investigative journalism for platform-native storytelling, recognizing that news consumption has largely shifted to social media feeds on mobile devices. Earlier in June, Gard Steiro, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of VG, presented the company’s "speedboat" strategy at WAN-IFRA’s World News Media Congress in Marseille, framing it around questions of future trust and the balance between convenience and trust. In May 2026, Nordic countries, including Norway where VG operates, were highlighted as a press freedom haven, characterized by a healthy economic situation for media, strong public trust, robust media literacy policies, and political respect for the press.

Translating Investigative Journalism into Platform-Native Storytelling

Investigative journalism takes time. Months of documents, interviews, and verification before anything is ready to publish. But the way people find and read journalism has changed much faster than most newsrooms expected. News is now consumed mostly inside social media feeds, on phones, in fragments, between other things.

And will convenience matter more than trust?” This was the framing that Gard Steiro, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of VG – Verdens Gang, used to open his presentation at WAN-IFRA’s World News Media Congress in Marseille on Tuesday morning.
