Bente Kalsnes discusses why public data should be open while also noting exceptions for personal, security, and criminal data. She provides examples of open road accident, school testing, map, and political voting data from Norway and highlights both successes and remaining challenges in fully utilizing these datasets. Kalsnes argues Norway needs increased government awareness of open data value, media knowledge on using public data, and support for technological journalism innovation.
