Tidens Krav

Tidens Krav is a media house that has internet broadcasting,television,newspaper and radio and has been in existence over 100 years ago in Kristiansund in Norway.
Originally,it started off with a strong backing of the labour party even though over the years that is no longer the case.
This media house effected a multi-media strategy as a unique way of trying to cope with the new forms of technology that has slowly but surely seen the old media,which is the print media industry shrink.
In this regard,the media house started its broadcasts in 1987 before all other social platforms came on board.
According to Tidens Krav Televison Editor Svein Junge says the media house started off as a strong newspaper media before it incorporated other platforms such as the internet.
Junge also disclosed that in this competitive market, the media house has stayed on course because of the various social media it has integrated in its system.
He said the media has well over 62% subscribers and the number has slowly been falling off with the passage of time because of the competitiveness of the market.
''We have lost 5% of our subscribers partly because other media have come on board making it competitive and people always have a choice which media suits their tastes,''said Junge.
The media house like any other media sustains its operations through advertising and commercial sales on the different social medias.
Junge however disclosed that the media house provides its content free to readers on the internet.
An estimated 40,000 people read the newspaper daily and what really helps is that the state subsides the media,so that it is able to meet and runs its costs.
Junge says readers are fed with content that is appropriate as it is local and suits their needs.
''We publish stories that have a local content and mix them up with other developmental stories coupled with that we are also able to criticise government without any interference,''said Jung.
However ,what is very unique about the media in Norway is that,it has no body that regulates journalists in terms of what they write about,which is a very positive thing as most countries especially in Africa are advocating for the media being regulated through a statutory body that would address complaints from the public as well as limit how far journalists can go in their reporting work and also have limited access to information making journalists' work difficult.
And Web Editor Oleknut Alnces also said that the media deals with stories in a such a way that journalists write the story headlines themselves even though editors counter check in case of effecting changes or looking at their appropriateness.
Alnces said journalists work as a team on crucial assignments while also having individual assignments which has built a strong journalistic team that shares different insights with each other.
He further disclosed the media house has a circulation of at least 15,000 on a daily basis.

Trondheim

Trondheim is the third largest town in Norway and is really a place to marvel about.It is surrounded by many tourist attractions.It has a a very big church in the city centre which is a lutheran church.People are allowed to go in the church during the course of the week to lite a candle,which is a sign of remembering their beloved ones that have died over the years or any close family or friends that are presently sick.
The church also has guided tours of its church building and explains the different meanings of its practices--unlike in certain places where people can not just walk in church to view,in Trondheim,its a different, people can simply walk in church take pictures,have a cup of coffee or lite a candle!

Roros

Roros is a small town in Norway,which has a rich historic background.It started off as a mining town in the early 1600s and was ultimately explored by the local people before they were invaded by the Germans.
According to the history of Roros,the Germans explored and invaded areas that had alot of potential for precious minerals and land.
As was the trend with Germans,their occupation of the area revealed that Roros was a rich small town as it was found to be rich in copper deposits which the local people in Norway did not pay particular attention to at the time and as such were displaced of their potentially rich town. Therefore,the Germans built permanent settlements in the area and engaged in mining copper which was the dominant mineral they knew about at the time.
However,all these mines and other infrastructure that they built have been preserved and tourists are always flocking to these areas as they have now become tourist atraction centres.
Among the many tourist centres that exist include a theatre,mine,houses made out of wood and the like that have been left as historic sites.
The town has at least 3,500 people in the suburban and 2,500 in surrounding areas that are far flung within the town's vicinity.
The town is unique because it not only attracts tourists but also stands out as a rich cultural heritage which has been preserved!
