Our story so far

The online magazine ÚR VÖR was established on the 15th of March in 2019, see here: www.urvor.is
Since that day, over 200 articles in our categories from all around the country have been published and the articles are published every third day.

The editor-in-chief, designer and the editorial committee put forward the aim from day one to swim a little bit against the current in the media surroundings of today. The aim is not to publish gossip or have click bait articles. Our coverage is positive and encouraging and it´s safe to say that ÚR VÖR is so called slow media, where people can take their time in reading our articles.

The importance of support

Our story has been success so far and everyone behind the magazine is determined to strive forward. We have got a great response from people that we have interviewed and our readers and everyone agrees about the need for a media like this. So we want to push on and go even further. But for that to be possible, we need to work hard and we are ready to do so, as long as we get a wind in our sails with support from you guys!

If we get enough support here on Karolina Fund, we would also like to start an English part in our magazine as well as starting podcast episodes connected to our categories. And furthermore, we want to put online in our magazine audio files with our articles, so you can listen to them. But like we said just before, this all depends on certain suspport. We are optimistic and positive and hope that you share our vision and that you agree with us and many others the importance of this type of media.

Visionary work, not profit-seeking aim

It should be noted that ÚR VÖR is independant and unpolitical media and we emphasize strongly on the independancy of our staff. The staff has full editorial independancy and will therefore follow their conscience, believe and the moral rules of the Union of Journalists in Iceland when they write for us. So therefore the staff does not have to consider the opinion or interest of the owners or any business partners of the media, while working for us.

We are fairly new and quite unknown media so it has been a struggle to acquire advertisements so far. The people who have supported us have done so with vision and good will in mind. This is visionary work and not done to make profit and it is very necessary to get a good support, which is why we need support from you. So if you want to see ÚR VÖR live and continue to promote little place with big ideas, don´t hesitate to choose any of the subscription option that are here on the side of the page. By doing so you are supporting the magazine and the countryside! Thank you! :)
