Digital Transformation: Det Nordjyske Mediehus
Det Nordjyske Mediehus (DNMH) has a rich history that dates back to the 2nd of January 1767, when it was first established as “Nyttige og fornøyelige Jydske Efterretninger” by four Aalborg priests, with Johan Wandall as the editor. Over the years, the newspaper underwent several name changes, eventually becoming known as Aalborg Stiftstidende. In 1999, it was renamed NORDJYSKE Stiftstidende following the merger of Aalborg Stiftstidende, Vendsyssel Tidende, Fjerritslev Avis, and Løgstør Avis. The company expanded its coverage to the entire North Jutland region, further strengthened by the inclusion of Thisted Dagblad in 2007 and Morsø Folkeblad in 2013.
Det Nordjyske Mediehus is more than just a newspaper. It has adapted to changing media consumption habits by launching various new projects and focusing on new media. On the 22nd of September 1983, it broke DR’s radio monopoly with the launch of Aalborg Nærradio, now known as ANR 1. In September 2003, it introduced Denmark’s first 24-hour TV channel, 24NORDJYSKE, which broadcasted North Jutland news around the clock. In September 2021, it launched the digital business media Vigeur, and in 2023, it introduced a podcast called Limbo in collaboration with headspace.
Det Nordjyske Mediehus plays an integral role in the Danish community
The company, headquartered in Aalborg in Denmark, was officially founded as NORDJYSKE Medier on the 10th of October 1994, and changed its name to Det Nordjyske Mediehus in 2021. It operates in various sectors, including newspapers, radio, TV, websites, and distribution. The company employs around 475 people as of 2023. Det Nordjyske Mediehus has also been involved in the development of internet media and related portals within B2B media, covering news from Nordic business sectors. Det Nordjyske Mediehus continues to be a prominent media house in North Jutland, creating pride and putting the region on the map.
In today’s every changing world Det Nordjyske Mediehus has an integral role in providing media services to not just Northen Jutland, but also to the whole of the Nordic countries through its different media outlets, including both specialized industry publications to lifestyle content in the form of the online magazine Vigeur.
Secure, stable, and adaptable Infrastructure
Det Nordjyske Mediehus operates within the media market which has evolved drastically over the last 10 years, from a focus on delivering newspapers, the business has now evolved into an online focused media outlet. Supporting this transition has required the development of new solutions and migration of some systems to the public cloud whilst retaining existing legacy systems through the transition process. These requirements needs a supplier that are able to deliver a complete infrastructure stack, with a key focus on supporting the digital transformation which is underway within the industry.
