Contexto cultural
Norwegians have a high level of 'digital literacy'. Even elderly people commonly 'leser nyheter' on tablets rather than paper. The 'Papiravis' (paper newspaper) is becoming a luxury or a weekend tradition, often associated with a slow 'søndagsfrokost' (Sunday breakfast). NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) is the most trusted source. Saying 'Jeg leste det på NRK' is a common way to validate information. Local identity is strong. Many people 'leser lokalavisa' to keep up with neighborhood events, which is seen as being a good neighbor.

Plural is Key
