Nius (stylized NIUS) is a German right-wing online media outlet launched in July 2023.[1] It publishes news and opinion content via its website, YouTube, and web radio. Its content and style has often been compared to Fox News in the United States.[1][2][3]

The outlet was founded by Julian Reichelt, the former editor-in-chief of Bild, after he was dismissed from that publication in 2021 over allegations of abuse of power.[1][4] It is primarily financed by German entrepreneur Frank Gotthardt, founder of CompuGroup Medical and honorary chairman of the Christian Democratic Union Economic Council in Rhineland-Palatinate.[1][5]
