“I am very upset with the Tangen case, I must admit,” Kristin Skogen Lund said in an interview with an NHH student that was published in Dagens Næringsliv on Friday last week.
Skogen Lund is the CEO of Schibsted, owner of VG.
– I know a bit about Nicolai Tangen and I was in this famous seminar of his also in Philadelphia, and I think it is crazy what he is exposed to and what he has been through, he said.
In retrospect, Skogen Lund has received criticism from Jon Wessel-Aas, chairman of the board of directors of Blommenholm Industrier, which owns a quarter of Schibsted, and a member of the board of directors of the Tinius Foundation, which controls Blommenholm Industrier.
Now Skogen Lund regrets it.
– In hindsight, I wish I had phrased myself differently, writes Skogen Lund in an email to Journalisten, via Schibsted communications manager Atle Lessum.
– Afterwards I spoke with both the VG editor and the union delegates in the newspaper house and I am sure that no one feels that I have pressured the editorial staff or that they are affected by the statement. The editorial independence of the Schibsted newspapers has been and is absolute, he writes.
