Aura Avis is a Norwegian newspaper, based in Sunndalsøra. It was established in 1947 by Erling Innvik. Innvik edited the newspaper from 1947 to 1954, when he became editor of the Iowa-based Decorah-posten. Aura Avis was then bought by the agency Norsk Arbeiderpresse. Einar Sæter was editor-in-chief from 1954 to 1971.[2] Aura Avis was the only Labour Party newspaper in Norway which had an editorial stand against membership prior to the 1972 Norwegian European Communities membership referendum.[3][4]

Editor from 1996 is Lars Steinar Ansnes.
