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

Trade unions

In general, trade unions play an important role in the Norwegian society. More than 900,000 are members of the largest trade union in Norway, Landsorganisasjonen i Norge (The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions - LO). This also includes technical and clerical workers in the media. Landsorganisasjonen has always had ties to the Labour party. Administrative personnel in the media are also frequently members of non-socialist trade unions, like UNIO (340,000 members), Yrkesorganisasjonenes sentralforbund - YS (220,000) and Akademikerne (185,000).
