Nordjyske brings vertical video, live news and editions into new Pugpig Bolt app

Nordjyske has launched a new app on Pugpig Bolt, with Reels-style vertical video and podcasts bringing a new dimension to its live news and reporting on mobile.

14th April 2026

Det Nordjyske Mediehus, one of Denmark’s leading regional news publishers, has launched a new mobile app for its Nordjyske title on Pugpig Bolt. Previously split across two platforms, Nordjyske’s news coverage and digital editions now live together in one place for the first time.

Vertical video now has a dedicated space in the app. A continuously swipeable, Reels-style tab makes it easy for users to discover short updates and visual reporting alongside the day’s stories.

Podcasts offer another way for Nordjyske to drive engagement and build daily habit, available directly in the app through Bolt’s native audio player.

Bolt’s new Follow feature adds a layer of personalisation to the experience, letting readers select specific topics and authors to build their own unique timelines.

Users can keep up to date with breaking news updates in the Live Centre or get stuck into an engaging puzzle over on the dedicated games tab.

“The new Nordjyske app significantly strengthens our digital offering and accelerates our digital transformation. Built on a strong, future-ready digital-first platform with Pugpig, it enables us to build deeper relationships with our subscribers and create more long-term value.

Our goal is to make it easier than ever to be a subscriber by providing seamless access to our range of content – whether you prefer the digital edition, podcasts, puzzles or other formats – all within one intuitive and cohesive app experience.

Throughout the process, Pugpig has been a trusted and highly professional technology partner, and we look forward to furthering our collaboration.”

Nordjyske already has plans for what comes next. The team is exploring plans to build a more customised games experience and bring archive content into the app.

This is our second launch in Denmark over the last month, closely following Jysk Fynske Medier (JFM)’s rollout of 16 titles on Bolt. Two great examples of the habit-building apps we’re working on with publishers across the region.

Nordjyske is now available to download on iOS and Android – scan the QR codes to check them out.
