NRK News (in Norwegian: NRK Nyheter) is the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's news organisation. It produces news around the clock for radio and television in Norwegian and Sami. There are two main newsrooms, one for radio (NRK Dagsnytt) and one for television (NRK Dagsrevyen); both are headquartered in the Norwegian capital Oslo. NRK also produces local news bulletins at newsrooms around the country. Internationally, NRK correspondents are based in Washington, D.C., Nairobi, Beijing, London, Moscow, Brussels, Berlin and Istanbul. Urix, produced by NRK News, is a television program that specializes in international news.

NRK Alltid nyheter (English literal translation: NRK Always News) is a special news radio station that transmits news 24 hours a day in Norwegian, with some programming in Swedish from Sveriges Radio and overnight relays of BBC World Service programmes in English.

NRK's newsrooms also cooperate on posting news in Norwegian on the NRK website. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute with its website Yr.no and NRK Sport are the news department's closest partners.

NRK News aims to convey as reliable and unbiased news, information and documentaries as possible. As the largest media house in Norway, NRK News is therefor watched closely by the users. There is an ongoing debate whether the corporation meets the demands they put on themselves or not.
