Norway – (F3) Diversity of news sources

Score in short:

Score in detail:

Question: How diverse are the sources used by the leading news media?

News syndication seems to vary based on where in the newsroom the journalists work. One of the journalists working in what she calls “web desk/news desk” say that collecting news from other sources is very important in her daily work. “We follow the news picture all the time, so we publish, but also get information to use in our own cases, from others all the time. I would say that is very important”. Other journalists work on different parts of the newsroom, but still syndicate from other sources from time to time.

Maja: Kan du søke etter nyere forskning om kildebruk i norske medier? Sigurd Allerns arbeider fra 1990-tallet (“Kildenes makt” etc) er relevante, men for gamle

Intervju:

Om det syndikeres (hentes/lånes/kjøpes) nyheter fra andre nasjonale eller internasjonale medier

Bergens Tidende, sjefredaktør:
Ja. Vi bruker NTB på noen ting og så er det stoffutvekslingsavtalen mellom Schibstedavisene og Adresseavisen. Og så har vi i tillegg til den noe som heter “100% sport” som er et felles sportssamarbeid mellom, ja, konsernsamarbeid. Det er jo noen byråer som vi kjøper inn fra, men vi bruker ikke eksterne skribenter fra det.

Nettavisen, sjefredaktør:
Ja, vi har NTB abonnement og så har vi også en avtale med alle avisene i Amedia som heter Fri Flyt hvor vi bytter på stoff. Man kan bruke stoffet til alle avisene i Amedia.
