That is a regular North Norwegian newspaper.

Manned by regular Norwegian journalists.

There are lots of fish up there, but their newspapers are not fishy.

Norwegian here, I vaguely recall seeing the name before, but I'm pretty sure its an independent newsorg, and basic googling seems to support that.

Apparently their editor was declared persona non grata by Russia in 2016, and the site was blocked there in 2019.

Moreover the FSB apparently attempted to pressure the Norwegian government to silence the newspaper/site, on the basis that it was harming the relationship between the two nations, the source for that is a report from NRK which is the staterun news organization of Norway, sort of Norway's BBC.

In short, I can't say if this site is fully trustworthy or not from experience, but its not part of a Russian propaganda network as far as i can tell.
