NNSL Media (Northern News Services LTD) is a news and media company based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It is one of the few remaining independent newspaper companies in Canada, producing all-original content with little to no reliance on syndicated news. NNSL publishes seven different papers weekly: Kivalliq News, Inuvik Drum, Yellowknifer (Wednesday and Friday editions), News/North (Northwest Territories News/North and Nunavut News/North).

In March 2017, NNSL Media ceased publication of the weekly the Deh Cho Drum newspaper after 23 years.[1]

In March 2021, Black Press, a Canadian publisher of over 170 newspapers in Canada and the United States, purchased NNSL.[2] According to a report, NNSL had been on sale for over a year.[3]
