NewsFlow

NewsFlow is a publishing system for online newspapers, magazines, and trade journals developed by Thin AS. It has been in operation since 2009 and currently serves over 40 online newspapers. The platform combines web, paper, subscriptions, advertising, and AI into a single system with support directly from the creators.

The company is based in Tonstad, Norway, with offices in Oslo and Oppdal. It operates under the domain newsflow.no and is owned by Thin AS, which holds the organization number NO 992 480 602 MVA.

Reviewers consistently praise the platform for providing engaging, informative, and well-researched articles that are always up-to-date and relevant. Users also appreciate the clean, user-friendly website layout and the ability to navigate content easily.

The Trustburn rating is 4 out of 5 stars based on 10 reviews. The rating split includes five 5-star reviews, four 4-star reviews, and one 3-star review, with the most recent feedback dating back to October 2023.

A key feature is the ability for each newspaper to have its own dedicated app available on the App Store and Google Play. These apps feature the publication's specific colors, logo, and fonts, along with push notifications and reader login capabilities.

The eAvis feature allows readers to browse PDFs, side files, or zip archives with zoom and search functionality. Only users with proper access can read these materials, and lesetall (reading statistics) are tracked in Webdesk.

NewsFlow offers several specialized modules including Flow-familien, ImageFlow, MarketFlow, AdsFlow, and PageFlow. These tools are designed to streamline operations for local newspapers, magazines, and trade journals.

The platform supports multiple subscription models, allowing users to gift subscriptions, share them with family or colleagues, or pause them. Additionally, rabattkoder (discount codes) can be applied to the first payment.

Journalists can use Min desk to get a personal overview, while the entire redaksjonen (editorial team) can access a shared calendar. Colleagues can comment on stories and mention each other using the @ symbol within the system.

For breaking news, the Direkte feature provides live updates that appear automatically for readers and are recognized by search engines. This ensures that developing stories are tracked in real-time.

Comment moderation includes a built-in word list and an optional AI check to filter out hate speech or spam before the editorial team approves them. This helps maintain quality discussions.

The system integrates with PageFlow for reading content both online and within the app. It also connects with Webdesk for managing tasks, calendars, and viewing reading statistics.

The service has maintained a 99.9% uptime over the last year, ensuring reliable access to news content for its users and subscribers.

New features launched in November 2026 include the ability to send self-generating newsletters and advanced subscription health tracking. These updates help publishers manage their subscriber base more effectively.
