Black Saturday commentary (appearances in Norwegian media)
After ten weeks traveling through the Australian outback for my PhD project, we arrived back in Melbourne on February 7, 2009 – better known in Australia as Black Saturday.
The catastrophe received much worldwide attention. I was contacted by a number of Norwegian media outlets for commentary.
Some examples here (all in Norwegian):
“Nordmann i Australia: – Det er helt uvirkelig”. TV2 Nyhetene February 9, 2009.
“100 døde i skogbranner”. TV2 Nyhetene February 10, 2009.
“To pågrepet for ildpåsettelse”. P4 Web-TV February 9, 2009.
“Nordmann i Melbourne: Situasjonen er helt uvirkelig”. VG NETT February 9, 2009.
“Var midt i flammehavet”. Laagendalsposten February 9, 2009.
