    Nordicom-Information 33 (2011) 4, pp. 3-22 Fjernsyn som vaktbikkje Dokument 2 og den undersøkende dokumentaren i TV 2 Henrik G. Bastiansen Abstract Dette er en studie av undersøkende journalistikk i den norske TV-kanalen TV 2. Den handler om hvordan denne type journalistikk er blitt praktisert i fjernsynsdokumentarer, og særlig i programmet Dokument 2. Siden åpningen av TV 2 i 1992 har Dokument 2 produsert mye undersøkende journalistikk om kontroversielle emner. Dokument 2 har vært et prisvin- nende program i mange år, men da finanskrisen rammet TV 2 i 2009, ble programmet lagt ned. I 2010 ble det riktignok gjeninnført, men i en langt mer beskjeden forstand. Idag har programmet en høyst usikker fremtid. Keywords: fjernsyn, dokumentar, undersøkende journalistikk, finanskrisen i mediene Egenproduksjon av dokumentarer er for dyrt. (TV2s konsernsjef Alf Hildrum til Aftenposten 9. oktober 2009) Introduksjon Den 15. september 2008 gikk investeringsbanken Lehman Brothers konkurs i New York. Slik startet en finanskrise som på kort tid spredte seg til store deler av verden. Krisen rammet Norge utover i 2009; næringslivets inntekter falt. Bedriftene skar ned på sine reklamebudsjetter. Det rammet mediene. Deres inntekter falt dramatisk. 2009 ble derfor et kriseår for mediebransjen. ”Bransjen truffet av en asteroide” lød en karakteristisk avisoverskrift.1 Finanskrisen rammet de to norske allmennkringkasterne NRK og TV2 helt for- skjellig. For NRK var de umiddelbare virkningene små. Institusjonens økonomi hvilte fortsatt på lisensordningen. Det sikret den mot fallende konjunkturer. Helt konkret innebar det at NRK kunne fortsette med den mest kostbare delen av TV-journalis- tikken: dokumentarer med undersøkende journalistikk. I løpet av 2009 sendte NRKs Brennpunkt-redaksjon i alt 23 slike dokumentarer.

  • Out of Area Norske Fortellinger Møter Afghanske
    Tegning: Herb Out of area Norske fortellinger møter afghanske Ingeborg Eliassen Masteroppgave i journalistikk, del 1 av 2 Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Universitetet i Oslo 22.06.2010 1 Sammendrag Dette er en oppgave i to deler: Det journalistiske arbeidet ”Out of area. Norske fortellinger møter afghanske” og en refleksjonsrapport. Sistnevnte redegjør for metoder, sjanger og kildearbeid i prosessen med det journalistiske arbeidet – og drøfter kravet til ”objektivitet” i journalistikken. I denne manøveren har jeg vært utstyrt med noen av de teoretiske verktøyene som er utviklet på feltet og har trukket på egne erfaringer fra det journalistiske arbeidet. Før skulle den norske militærmakten brukes i eksistensiell forsvarskamp på norsk jord, altså helst aldri. De siste 15 årene er den blitt omdannet til et spisst verktøy i daglig tjeneste for det den norske utenrikspolitiske eliten definerer som norske sikkerhetsinteresser. Den viktigste av disse er å bevare et godt forhold til USA. Dermed stilles norske styrker til disposisjon for amerikanske stormaktsinteresser. Denne tenkningen har ført til at norske styrker i flere år har slåss mot opprørere i Afghanistan, et av verdens aller fattigste land. ”Out of area. Norske fortellinger møter afghanske” viser hvordan norske beslutningstakere, norske soldater og afghanske sivile ser på denne utviklingen og opplever følgene av den. I forhold til det amerikanske angrepet på Irak i 2003, var det amerikanske angrepet på Afghanistan i 2001, lite omstridt i Norge. Med utgangspunkt i det rådende kravet til journalistisk ”objektivitet”, diskuterer jeg i refleksjonsrapporten hvordan og hvorfor det var slik. Begrepet tolkningsrammer står sentralt i drøftingen. Jeg argumenterer for at en snevert og utilstrekkelig definert ”objektivitet” holder journalistikken fast i forståelser, tolkningsrammer, av denne krigen som hindrer grunnleggende debatt, marginaliserer alternative stemmer og tjener krigsinteresser heller enn en stadig mer global offentlighet.

Spokesperson Manelisi Wolela said the dismissal followed a four-hour fact-finding visit to the facility by the Minister of Correctional Services, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula. IOL reported noted that the dismissal was provoked when more than 40 awaiting-trial prisoners escaped from the prison. Mapisa-Nqakula said a breach of security could not be tolerated because South Africans and Parliament expected not just a reduction in escapes, but no escapes from correctional centres. According to the report, only eight of the escaped prisoners have been rearrested. The Harrismith Correctional Centre houses 236 inmates, 91 of whom are remand prisoners. SAPA, 1 June 2010, IOL, at http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13& art_id=nw20100601221758608C216660 Correctional Services warned to fix prisons in eight months : It was reported that the National Assembly’s Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services has given an ultimatum to the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) to fix the deteriorating prison conditions within eight months. The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services, Vincent Smith, said that members of Parliament are tired of “good reports about the state of prisons” which do not reflect reality.
