This complex situation presents Europe with one its greatest challenges: how to ensure equal rights in an environment of rapidly expanding diversity. IN OSLO At Home in Europe, part of the Open Society Initiative for Europe, Open Society Foundations, is a research and advocacy initiative which works to advance equality and social justice for minority and marginalised groups excluded from the mainstream of civil, political, economic, and, cultural life in Western Europe. Somalis in European Cities Muslims in EU Cities was the project’s first comparative research series which examined the position of Muslims in 11 cities in the European Union. Somalis in European cities follows from the findings emerging from the Muslims in EU Cities reports and offers the experiences and challenges faced by Somalis across seven cities in Europe. The research aims to capture the everyday, lived experiences as well as the type and degree of engagement policymakers have initiated with their Somali and minority constituents. somalis-oslo_incover-publish-2013-1209_publish.qxd 2013.12.09. 14:45 Page 1 Somalis in Oslo At Home in Europe somalis-oslo_incover-publish-2013-1209_publish.qxd 2013.12.09. 14:45 Page 2 ©2013 Open Society Foundations This publication is available as a pdf on the Open Society Foundations website under a Creative Commons license that allows copying and distributing the publication, only in its entirety, as long as it is attributed to the Open Society Foundations and used for noncommercial educational or public policy purposes.

    Statistiske analysar 131 Kulturstatistikk 2011 12. Aviser, vekepresse og fagpresse 12.1. Nokre resultat Minkande avisopplag Trenden med nedgang i opplagstala for papiravisene held fram. Samla avisopplag i 2011 var på 2,5 millionar, ein nedgang på 71 000, eller 2,8 prosent frå året før. Frå 2009 til 2010 var fallet noko større, 3,3 prosent. 2011 er det tolvte året på rad med nedgang, og samla nedgang sidan 1998 er 21 prosent (Høst 2012). Sjølv om avisopplaga fell, er det likevel verdt å merke seg at talet på aviser har vore nokolunde stabilt dei siste åra. Ved utgangen av 2011 var det 228 aviser i Noreg. Dette er to aviser fleire enn i 2010. Nesten alle kategoriar aviser har hatt fall i opplagstala, bortsett frå riksspreidde meiningsbêrande aviser og nasjonale fådagarsaviser. Dei fleste åra sidan 2005 har laussalsavisene vore dei store taparane. Samla opplagstal for dei to laussalsavisene i Noreg, Verdens Gang og Dagbladet, var 311 000 i 2011. Samanlikna med 2010 er det ein nedgang på 20 000, eller 6 prosent. Sidan 2005 er opplagstalet for laussalsavisene redusert med nesten 39 prosent. Sjå tabell 12.4. Figur 12.1. Aviser.

In his speech at the national commemorative day on 22 August, one month after the tragedy, H M King Harald emphasized the importance of our basic values: “I stand fast to my belief that freedom is stronger than fear. I stand fast to my belief in an open Norwegian democracy and civic life. And I stand fast to my belief in our opportunities for living freely and safely in our own country.” A prerequisite for these values to prevail is a free press. Tinius Nagell-Erichsen, who established the Trust in May 1996, emphasized the importance of working for the freedom of speech and a free press as an essential safeguard for an active democracy. Securing these values is a task the Trust carrying his name is taking very seriously. In the media world of today, this challenge is greater than ever. It requires that we protect principles like freedom of faith, tolerance, human rights and democratic principles, just those values which were challenged by the events on 22 July 2011.

  • Norway's European Conundrum
    Norway’s European Conundrum John Erik Fossum Working Paper No. 4, February 2009 ARENA Working Paper (online) | ISSN 1890- 7741 Working papers can be downloaded from the ARENA homepage: http://www.arena.uio.no Abstract Membership in the European Union has for several decades figured as one of, if not the, most politically divisive issues in Norway. The question of Norwegian EU membership has been turned down in two popular referenda, and three governments have faltered on the issue. Since 1994, through the EEA agreement and other formalized links under all three EU pillars, Norway has become tightly incorporated in the EU. Norway’s ‘tight incorporation without formal membership’ has occurred without much political uproar and within a context where Norwegian political actors have removed the contentious EU membership issue from the political and public agenda. It is the political mechanisms that political actors have used to remove the contentious membership issue from the political agenda that is the topic of this article. I argue that these can be usefully studied with reference to Stephen Holmes’ notion of ‘gag rules’, formal and informal provisions bent on removing contentious issues from debate and decision-making. These mechanisms have helped smooth Norway’s incorporation in the EU, a type of incorporation that poses serious challenges to Norwegian democracy. In the concluding section the democratic implications are discussed. This single-case study of Norway offers insights into mechanisms and patterns of de-politicization of European integration and the democratic implications thereof that are of relevance across Europe.

  • Media, Market, State and Politics in Norway
    ISSN 1392–0561. INFORMACIJOS MOKSLAI. 2008 47 Media, market, state and politics in Norway Dr. Robert Vaagan Oslo University College, Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science PO Box 4, St.Olavs plass, 0130 Oslo, Norway Phone: 47 22 45 26 65, fax: 47 22 45 26 05 E-mail: [email protected] The article builds on Hallin & Mancini (2004) who have used a democratic corporatist model to analyze the media markets of several Northern and Central European countries, including Norway. An analysis of the Norwegian media market is presented, focusing on five key issue areas: changes in media usage, financing, technology, ownership and legislation. The analysis partially supports one of the key features of Hallin & Mancini’s model, i.e. the fairly interventionist role of the Norwegian authorities in the media sector. This is nonetheless tempered by the high level of marketization in most issue areas examined. Overall, there is therefore some reason to argue that “market is king” in Norwegian media. Keywords: Norwegian media market, media usage, financing, technology, ownership, legislation, marketization 1.
