| Introduction | Norwegian Media Watch was founded because of the need to expose ignorance, double standards, lazy journalism, and lack of professionalism sometimes given Canada, Canadians, and Canadian culture by many journalists in the Norwegian media. I encourage all readers, especially Canadians, to write to the media outlets listed on this site and the Norsk Presseforbund, and voice your concerns over the way Canada and Canadians are treated in the Norwegian press. Let's help inform these journalist they are actually HURTING NORWAY'S IMAGE, and contributing towards making Norway look ignorant. NMW is not asking for more coverage about Canada, just "fair" coverage that is accurate and not based on ignorance or blind assumptions about Canada. These journalists should not apply what they "think" they know about Canada in their stories, just because they don't know something about Canada, don't take the time to research their facts, and just because Canada geographically shares the continent of North America with Mexico and the USA. For the sake of Norway's reputation give Canada the same fair treatment Canada gives Norway in the Canadian press. |
