Kvinnheringen is a Norwegian regional newspaper for the Kvinnherad municipality in Vestland county. In print since 1973, it is currently released bi-weekly with more than 7000 readers and a circulation of 4 400 as of January 2021. Since 2003, the paper has been published both on paper and digitally. In 2015, the newspaper was awarded the European Newspaper Award in the category of local newspaper. In 1962, SØRAL was established in Husnes, leading to the industrialization and urbanisation of the outer regions of Kvinnherad. Between 1950 and 1970, the population in the municipality would double - from 5 600 to 11 600 - both due to the arrival of workers, but also the merger between former municipalities Kvinnherad, Skånevik and Fjelberg. Despite this, the only newspapers covering the area were larger, regional publications printed in the larger cities Bergen and Haugesund, and in the neighbouring municipality of Stord, and they were frequently criticized for failing to write news stories about the outskirts of their circulation area.
