The Vigga is a regional newspaper, mainly covering events in the municipalities of Lesja and Dovre. Until 2012 it also had an office in Otta in order to cover a wider area including Sel and the municipalities along Ottadalen. Vigga was established in 1987 by the married couple Marit and Asbjørn Amble.[2]
