NRK Veteran Resigns Amid Leadership Criticism

Published: 2024-11-29

Kari Sørbø, a veteran journalist at NRK, has resigned, citing dissatisfaction with the leadership's handling of colleague Tore Strømøy's departure.

Sørbø, who was set to retire next year, chose to leave early, expressing concerns over a lack of empathy and respect in the management's decisions.

Her resignation follows the controversial end of Strømøy's engagement with NRK, which he claims was mishandled.

Sørbø's departure has sparked discussions about leadership practices at NRK, particularly regarding the handling of the 'Bamsegutt' series.

Despite the internal nature of her criticisms, Sørbø's email to colleagues has gained public attention, highlighting broader issues within the organization.
