(Dagbladet): Åsne Seierstads new dokumentarbok – “Two sisters” – is about a father in Bærum who felt that his two tenåringsdøtre escaped to the IS-controlled area in Syria.
In the book tells Seierstad about her father’s travels to Syria, and his failed attempt to get the daughters of Norway. Seierstad stating the also sensational claims about the Police’s security service – the PST and the Newspaper. She writes, among other things, that Dagbladet 18. December 2015 published an article the newspaper did was wrong, and further that “the Journalist who had made contact had even doubted so much on the information that he divulged to PST who was the source of the story: (..).”
PST reject
Several media outlets interpreted Thursday Seierstads book that the Newspaper had blown a source towards the PST. It enlightens PST now that was not the case.
Was the PST is aware that such allegations were set forth in the book?
- No. We were not familiar with these details in the book before it was published. It is a pity that we did not know that this was going to be published, when could this situation have been avoided. I don’t want to comment on this further, ” says senior adviser Martin Bernsen in PST to the Newspaper.
- does the PST said to Åsne Seierstad that the Newspaper recalled one of their sources towards the PST?
- General comments we do not Pst’s relationships to the media. What we, however, can determine, is that no media has ever blown their sources towards the PST. This also applies to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, ” says Bernsen.
- We see that Norwegian journalists are committed to the protection of their sources. Yet we can sometimes through questions from journalists and other information in a case understand who is the source.
it Means that you have said to Seierstad who you thought was the Dagbladet source?
Conversations that we have with the journalists and writers is not something we comment on in public, just as little as we comment on the conversations we have with you with other journalists, says Bernsen.
Not correct
news editor Frode Hansen in the Newspaper first became aware of the specific allegations in the book when Aftenposten contacted.
- It is not, of course, understand that the Newspaper has divulged sources towards the PST. We have not been given the opportunity to correct or comment on specific allegations in the book, ” says news director Hansen.
Åsne Seierstad (46) is one of Norway’s most profiled journalists and writers. The books “Bokhandleren in Kabul” and “One of us” was great salgsuksesser in Norway and abroad.
- Blew, not the source
- Several media outlets have understood the book to the point where the Newspaper has blown a source towards the PST. What is your comment to that?
- When talking about to “blow a source,” it usually means that one’s conduct is such that their safety was compromised or exposed to discomfort. It is a dull of the Newspaper to present a source so that the PST understands who it is, which here was made in connection with a discussion about the source’s credibility, writes Seierstad in an e-mail to the Newspaper.
- PST now says that no media, not the Newspaper, has divulged sources of for them. What is your comment to that?
- the Newspaper presented the information in such a way that the source’s identity was divulged. As I write in the book. It does not mean that the Newspaper “blew” their source with the intent, but he was also identified by the PST out from the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet reported, writes Seierstad.
- the PST has now denied that the Newspaper was a source opposite the PST. It seems strange if the PST has discussed what can only be assumptions about the alleged “sources towards Åsne Seierstad,” says news director Frode Hansen in the Newspaper.
An error
Hansen says that Aftenposten on Wednesday asked for comments on that in his book says that Dagbladet in the spring of 2015 published a false case with the title “ICE-sources of the Newspaper: – Here henretter the Norwegian executioner.
We started immediately the work of ettergå the article, and we acknowledge and regret that it is incorrect. It is now equipped with a clear notice, ” says Hansen.
It reads: “Dagbladet dishes: This article was published in Dagbladet’s print edition 23. april 2015, and digitally on the Newspaper Plus. We have since been made aware that the information in the case is not correct. Dagbladet has therefore reviewed the case’s content, and as thoroughly as possible. It is clear that the central information in the case is incorrect, and that the photograph is taken in a different context than the Newspaper conveyed. “I’m sorry.”
- I would also add that we think it is sad that the article has remained uncorrected on our platforms in one and a half years, ” says nyhetsredaktøren.
