Talk:Mass media in Norway

Media bias section

First of all, it's strange for a "bias" section to be the largest in the entire article. Second, journalists leaning one way or the other politically does not equate to journalistic bias. Of the 10 largest Norwegian newspapers, a clear majority explicitly state their editorial line to be conservative or liberal (which in Norway is considered centrist or center-right). Aftenposten, Adresseavisen, and Stavanger Aftenblad all describe their editorial lines as some form of conservative, while Dagbladet self-describes as liberal, and the same historically applied to Bergens Tidende. The accusation that "the media is full of leftists" is a typical accusation from right-wing individuals in Norway, just as it is in places like the United States. I don't think we should be promoting a Trump-esque "liberal leftist elitist media" narrative on Wikipedia in general, but this text would overall have more value regardless if only it cited actual incidents of bias, as opposed to just ranting for five paragraphs about journalists' private, personal beliefs. I will be rewriting and/or deleting parts of the section in the next few days, if there are no objections. Μαρκος Δ 17:04, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
