In 2004 the Norwegian Parliament adopted a new article on the freedom of expression in the Constitution. The problems confronting a liberal society as considered in this connection are discussed. Special attention is given to the conditions for the freedom of information in a modern society. The problems of the information policy of the public authorities are given special attention, as are also the problems and possibilities caused by the new technological development. The importance of the institutional setting and the need for diversity are emphasized.
