I'm not opposed, just really sad watching print and news media struggle and mostly fail to get the attention of said younger readership. Although I don't know NRK's numbers, maybe they are having some success

I can't find sources to confirm or deny right now, but I'm pretty sure it's "yes". NRK has a big presence in schools, on social media and for childrens tv, and has turned around the negative trend in terms of younger viewers - these examples are just evolution of the project NRK started in 1990 with U and P3

their mandate is to reach every age group, but nrk.no seems to be increasingly chasing teens and the infantilised ideal of a ~25 year old to the detriment of literally everything else. every article is either written in some dimwitted ~true crime~ voice, made into a worthless image-scrolling or is just so dumbed down to the point where the actual story is only half-correct. at this point, the only worthwhile part of their website is the live NTB news ticker on top.

NRK’s incessant chase for young audiences has even P2 playing some poo poo about Mr Beast and youtuber drama on the radio in Studio 2 as we speak. gently caress everything about this

P2 has a mandate to talk about a wide array of niche knowledge. By covering MrBeast my 75 year old dad now knows who one of the biggest media personalities in the world is

They call it the Israel-Hamas War, which is maybe closer to accurate, but not really.

It's also unclear if Politiken meant "Gaza is Hamas" or "Hamas is waging war on Gaza". Guess they're too busy repeating NYT fake news from a genocidal zionist to proofread.

p2 has ok music coverage but it's gotten much worse at almost everything else. the most substantive current affairs programme they run these days is norsken svensken og dansken which is basically a mediocre politics podcast for ageing liberals. no part of nrk could make e.g. https://tv.nrk.no/serie/om-poesi/1975 or anything like it today. i watched old episodes of åpen post and it was incomparably better (in the sense that i felt more enlightened about the issues under discussion) than any contemporary programming on any nrk channel. even dagsrevyen is now majority braindead feel-good feature stuff.

a public broadcaster is supposed to entertain, but also educate and inform. if it's just another garbage channel we can just close the whole thing down,

it’s also incredibly defeatist. why on earth should reaching a younger audience or appeal more broadly have to mean making everything dumber and less interesting? when they already have several radio channels with different profiles, why does this have to mean that P2 should be more like the worthless, bastard child of P1 and P3?

Everything Ulvir is saying. The NRK webpage is also incredibly person-focused. Everything they write about has to have a story about a person experiencing whatever the case is.

you just have to accept that your viewership will trend a little older and more educated instead of sacrificing everything to maximise technical engagement metrics

it dagsrevyen has 300,000 viewers and functions as a useful current affairs programme it's more valuable than it if has 500,000 viewers and is mostly a human interest magazine. we have norge rundt for that.

the problem is that "quality" is increasingly a frowned-upon concept, as we can see in e.g. the Litterære Arbeidsstipend-keruffle. if you cannot straightforwardly quantify something it will tend to lose out to things which can be easily quantified.

If NRK hadn't changed its policies to actively try to engage younger audiences almost no millennials would watch it today - and that includes you. If they don't get 12-18 year olds to watch/read NRK today, they won't suddenly start at 35 when they've matured to "real" news like what you prefer

Just don't click news articles you don't find interesting. Just accept that you won't like everything on a radio channel that cater to niche interests. The alternative is NRK dying a slow death and leaving all media to commercial interests. But sure, go yell at clouds if it makes you happy

on the one hand you're making insane and completely unfounded assumptions here. on the other, i can find almost nothing on nrk that caters to my interests, which are by and large incredibly boring and mainstream. they're just not puddle-deep.

The Death of NRK was prophecied heavily in the early 90s, and iirc their viewership amongst young people feel dramatically until they started catering to younger audiences both on radio and on TV. Do you think 45 year olds in '95 didn't hate XXL and Åpen Post as you hate the media catered to teenagers and young adults now? It's not meant for us, but there is plenty of things on NRK where we are the target audience

They don't have to play the game though. They get 6,4 billions from taxes. In my opinion that should not be used to compete for clicks.

The leader of the Konservative in Denmark died yesterday of a brain aneurysm while giving a speech at a party conference. He was 52.

I didn't agree with him on like 90% of issues but he didn't deserve to go so early.
Allegedly his last words was a promise to cut ties with the US republicans if they renominate Trump.

On the upside, he was very close friends with Støjberg and she claims to be heartbroken. He was also pro-genocide.
