Film and media
The government aims to strengthen the Norwegian media and facilitate that all groups in society have a good media offer. Media is essential for freedom of expression and democracy. The need for credible, editor-controlled media of high quality is greater than ever. The government also wants to strengthen the regional film investment, increase the production funds for Norwegian film and review the film incentive scheme to ensure more film productions in Norway.
Broadcasting and on-demand audiovisual services
Broadcasting entails the transmission of radio or TV programmes, the key element being that these are received directly and in real time by the public. On-demand audiovisual services are services that have as their main objective offering programmes that can be viewed at a time of the viewer’s choice.
Media Policy
The media is necessary for freedom of speech and a pillar of democracy.
Film and gaming policy
Films, computer games and other audiovisual productions are important forms of artistic expression that contribute to the public discourse in Norway. The film industry and the market for audiovisual productions are undergoing major change, partly as a result of digitalisation, the entry of global players, and the subsequent changes in consumption.
Big Tech and democracy
The Internet has become a central arena for public debate, distribution of quality news content and access to culture. At the same time, tech companies and social media platforms have a huge impact on the democratic discourse in Norway.
