NRK will ensure a wide availability of programs and services which “will support and help to develop Sami language, culture and identity.”
NRK’s purpose is to offer general broadcasting for the whole Norwegian population through radio, television, online and on other new media platforms.
NRK’s by-laws, which are the basis for NRK’s programming nationally and regionally, state that NRK’s core mandate includes an emphasis on its role as developer and transmitter of Norwegian and Sami art and culture.
This means that NRK acknowledges its obligation to play a vital role with respect to the preservation and development of Sami language, culture and identity.
