The case summarized: November 22, the administration in the Inland County Council ordered a media report on the media coverage of school closures in the Inland. It contains an anonymized overview of individual journalists who have covered the case. County Mayor of Inland, Thomas Breen (Ap), has always claimed that he has not been aware of this order. Now an unpublished news sound recording from November 8 shows that the county mayor should have his own external media report. The county mayor claims that this has no connection with the media report that was commissioned on November 22. New information is constantly emerging about the media report that the county mayor in the Inland “is not aware of.” In a hitherto unpublished news sound recording November 8, Thomas Breen says he will receive an external media report-that is two weeks before the disputed media report was ordered. It has previously caught the attention that the Inland County Council ordered a report on the media coverage of the case for the closure of upper secondary schools. This is stated in the report in the report from the company Infomedia, it is pointed out to an overweight of articles that negatively mentions the school closures. Here are some main points: Would have their own media report afterwards there has been a bitter dispute over who knew what and when. On February 27, Breen said he had not read or seen the investigation. He also emphasized that “I had no knowledge of the ordering of that report.” So now a hitherto unpublished news recording from November 8 shows that he already wanted his own media report. Thomas Breen denies that this is related to the media report ordered on November 22. Read the full response to the glacier further down in the article. – Now I get a media report in the recording he goes hard on the media coverage, and calls for more balance from the journalists: Playing parts of the audio recording here: Playing sound “Yes, but I’m dritlei. I’m really tired. You think you fail in total. Ehh … So there … Now I get a media report, external, who will go through the entire case complex. And that’s special, I must say. ” This was what Thomas Breen said in the interview:
[Breen er oppgitt over den politiske opposisjonen, og at journalister, etter hans skjønn, ikke stiller kritiske spørsmål til dem]
“So I think the media should challenge a little back. Do you really mean that here we should invest millions of dollars before we decided how things should be? We need to have a order of things. And that is clearly explained in the case. It is also said in the decision that here you should also gain experience with the first tender structure round before finally deciding a four -year tender structure, which has been a goal. We cannot adopt those things until we have adopted structure. Nor can we do so until we have experienced one year of applicant patterns for students. I think the criticism that comes is like .. eh..ja … I wish journalists dared to ask some questions back, then. How in the holiest should it take place? And said: Do you mean that you should build apartments before you had a determined structure? That is that [som er] the counter -question. So I’m a little tired of the one -sided response for three months now, without any journalists challenging the minority, then. Yes, but I’m dritlei. I’m really tired. You think you fail in total. Ehh .. So there .. Now I get a media report, external, which will go through the entire case complex. And it is special, even if news has in no way been bad compared to anyone else, but … yes. One should try to have an informed case, then. You have not done that here. ” news puts away this section, because the case was about something else. Then, November 22 – two weeks after – the report was ordered. We note that news’s coverage of the school case has also been dealt with in the report. What happened when in the case of media reporting schools and school sites were adopted by a majority in the county council. “But I am Dritlei. I’m really tired. You think you fail in total. So now I get a media report, external, who will go through the entire case complex, ”he says in an interview with news. However, this part of the recording was lying unused because the case was about something else. “What I want is an analysis of the media’s coverage of the school structure case,” writes communications manager in the Inland County Council, Halvor Løkken, in an e-mail to Infomedia, which news has gained access to the Halvor Løkken and the Leader to the Breeder. Gingerbread and ribs in Christmas. ” This shows documentation news has gained access II A leadership meeting – in the “county mayor’s hour” – the communications manager holds an orientation on the media report and its content. In the minutes of the meeting, it is clear that the county mayor comments on the content. – I think it is a bit sad that we are there, but we have been there for quite some time, where the media is no longer a channel for the right information, says Breen during a meeting of the county committee. The minimum parties Sp, SV, PP, R, V, Inp and KrF say the report was never processed. They will request a management report to get answers to “what led to such a media report, who has been involved in these assessments and who has accessed the report.” Then he replies: “It came to me on Christmas Eve from the communications manager. And then an email came from the county council director that it will be admitted to a leadership meeting over Christmas. Then I didn’t do anything more with it. I had no knowledge of the ordering of that report, nor did I know how it was screwed together. ” He points out that his point was that students and guardians should seek information elsewhere in addition to what they can read in the media.- I was very clearly out there right away and distanced away from the statements, says Minister of Culture and Equality Lubna Jaffery (AP), and elaborates:- I am very pleased that Thomas Breen has gone out and said he is the case. The glacier tells news that the media report he was talking about on November 8 was one he himself intended to order through the party apparatus. He goes on to say that this did not matter, and emphasizes that his thought media report is not the same as the one who was ordered two weeks later by Halvor Løkken. Breen emphasizes that he has not been involved in the administration’s order. It has also been found that the main points were referenced in a leadership meeting on January 28. The report is controversial partly because it has an anonymized overview of individual journalists who have covered the case. The opposition in the county council has also reacted strongly to the fact that the case never came to the politicians’ table. In retrospect, the majority parties have also agreed on this. The Norwegian Editors’ Association has asked for a meeting with the county mayor on the matter. The same has the board of the Opland’s Editors’ Association. County Mayor Breen has accepted the meeting. Want meeting: Reidun Kjelling Nybø, Secretary General of the Norwegian Editors’ Association. Photo: Hans Trygve Holm Breen claims it has no connection county mayor Thomas Breen replies that the external media report he is talking about in the news interview has no relation to the disputed report ordered on November 22. – What we hear here is a frustrated county mayor who for a few weeks had 1500-2000 individual cases related to the school case. It was a pretty extreme burden, and we felt from our discretion that it was a crooked presentation, says Breen. Against this background, the county mayor says he wants a media report. – I was going to use Youngstorget to prepare a media report. There is a way I am used to working from the Storting where we received several reports in individual cases that were important, says Breen. Thomas Breen has always claimed that he has no knowledge of the booking of the media report that the administration has done. Photo: Frode Meskau / news – Boiled away in the cabbage and several things happened that caused that tank to be put away, says the county mayor. – This day there was a proposal for budget, the minority promoted legality control requirements, and it was a poll that was historically poor, says Breen. This coming weekend, he and the parties were in position in budgetary treatment. – Then came the notification case on the county council director. Thus, it boiled away in the cabbage, and I never ordered the report I had intended, says Breen. – So that the administration in the county council ordered a report two weeks later has no relation to the report you are talking about here? – No, it doesn’t. But we discussed the media throughout the fall because it was quite extreme. On the political side, we had discussed a long time about how to learn from this here. Realize that connection is done – who ordered the media report that is disputed? – Anyone now on the table is commissioned by the administration without political order. I have not been involved in that order. – Do you understand that people can wonder if there is a connection here? – I understand that very well. Fortunately, I was out well before an order was made, but I realize that the link is being done. I think it is not dangerous to order a media report since I was going to do it myself, but I was not involved in the specific order, says Breen. Responds to new information group leader for the Center Party in the Inland County Council, Aud Hove, says she does not believe in the explanation for the glacier. – It is difficult to believe that this has not been discussed around the Coffee Machine at the County House in Hamar. To hear a recording now where he himself says that there is a media report is starting to get a little strange, says Hove. Aud Hove, group leader in for Sp in Inland County Council, responds that new information is constantly emerging. Photo: Arne Sørenes / news She believes that this audio recording adds to the series of information that is constantly coming into the case of the disputed media report. – We have an agreement between the minority and the majority that we should look at this jointly. We will get to the bottom of this. Here it is just as much about how it has been politically treated as what the administration has made for assessment. They have requested a management report of the case. – We see that this is a bit special, says Hove. The media has uncovered several information Breen has in many interviews had several occasions to clarify their involvement with the survey. The occasions where it has so far been revealed that he has known about it has emerged through media surveys. The opposition in the county council has reacted to the fact that “new information is constantly coming.” On February 25, the minority, the opposition parties, demanded that a management report must be made. The purpose is to clarify “what led to such a media report, who has been involved in these assessments and who has accessed the report.” On March 1, Aud Hove said that the control committee in the county council should look at the matter.
