Norway

The typical Norwegian newspaper is small, serving one or a few local communities. But there are also regional and national newspapers. With the exception of some of the smaller newspapers, almost all newspapers used to have close links to a political party, but these links were ended between 1970 and 1995

Journalists associations

Norsk Journalistlag (The Norwegian Union of Journalists - NJ) is an independent organisation for journalists in all media. The organisation represents the journalists nationally and locally. In recent years, when journalists have lost their jobs, the organisation has been important in the discussions with the media. Most journalists are members.

In wage negotiations, the journalists’ counterpart is Mediebedriftenes landsforening (Norwegian Media Businesses Association - MBL). MBL also participates in the debate about media politics.

Norsk Redaktørforening (Association of Norwegian Editors - NR) is the association for the editors. It is an important voice in debates on freedom of expression and in legal matters related to journalistic work.
