Is there a common Norwegian literary canon? Which canonised works continue to be relevant today? Is popular literature accorded insufficient attention when the best books are named? Which works and authorships would the libraries like to promote? Which publications of today will be the classics of tomorrow? How can libraries promote important Norwegian literature through new activities and initiatives?

This week, the Fritt Ord Foundation launched a new website about whistle-blowing and freedom of expression at work.

Here, you will find information about research and news, guidelines and legislation, as well as links to relevant organisations that are working with whistle-blowing. This information is currently spread across many different websites.
