Verdens Gang: Online edition larger than the paper

More people now read the Norwegian daily Verdens Gang on the net than read the paper edition, according to TNS Gallup.
– It’s a milestone, says VG Nett editor Torry Pedersen to in an interview.
VG Nett is now the largest news source in Norway. I think part of the success comes from VG’s strong reader focus. They started their blog services early, have a very active forum, and at Lesernes VG they bring all user activities together in an editorial context. The latest hit is of course Nettby, a user-created news site.

Disclosure disclaimer: VG is Aftonbladet’s sister paper, with many collaborations between the sites.
