sissepanus

Sissepanus is a Danish online content aggregator that provides a curated selection of articles, news reports, and multimedia stories from a range of Danish and international sources. The platform claims to organize content based on reader interests and current trends, offering users a personalized “table of contents” experience that has been described as a modern take on the traditional newspaper layout.

The service was launched in 2007 by a small start‑up team of Danish digital media professionals with the goal of simplifying information consumption in an era of fragmented news outlets. In 2012 Sissepanus entered a partnership with the Danish newspaper group DTU Publishing, which helped expand the platform’s reach and secure a steady stream of high‑profile contributors. The website’s interface has evolved from a simple list of links to a dynamic dashboard that highlights top stories, re‑posts trending discussions, and integrates social media feedback. Since the addition of a mobile app in 2015, the platform has reported a steady growth in daily active users, particularly among the 18‑35 age group.

Critics have questioned the original value proposition of Sissepanus, noting that its editorial selection largely overlaps with other aggregators such as Google News and Lokalavisen. Nonetheless, the platform has received praise for its clean design, ease of navigation, and the use of machine learning to surface niche topics that might otherwise be overlooked. In 2020 Sissepanus received an award for Best Digital Innovation at the Nordic Digital Media Awards, citing its pioneering approach to audience‑driven content curation. The service continues to operate under the ownership of MediaTek Denmark, maintaining a self‑contained ecosystem that feeds both readers and partner publishers.
