🇳🇴 NorwayCommentary: No Scandal in Norwegian Media's Silence on 2021 Hamas-noref Meeting
Norwegian media's decision not to cover a 2021 meeting between Hamas and the peace research institute Noref is not a scandal, according to a commentary in Aftenposten.
The commentary pushes back against claims from alternative media outlets that mainstream outlets are suppressing the truth. It notes that there are two types of news dissemination in Norway: traditional and alternative. Self-proclaimed alternative voices argue that traditionalists in the old mainstream media are not doing their job, and that readers and listeners must therefore turn to Document, iNyheter and other alternative newspapers, podcasts and social media threads. According to this view, only there can they find the truth about everything that is distorted, downplayed or silenced by NRK, TV 2, VG, Dagbladet, Aftenposten and the whole lot of old media, the commentary says.
