Did the Norwegian Press Complaints Commission meet to decide if my complaint
can be handled by the commission without consent from mr. Beivik; and to discuss with the ms. Berglund of Views and News if her website is within your competence (our area)?
If so, how long do you estimate it shall be before I am informed of the details?

Thank you for your response.
Request Written Reasons for the Press Complaints Decision:
Could you kindly ask the Press Complaints Commission to provide me with their written reasons and the arguments their decision is based upon, that my News and Views from Norway complaint cannot be handled without written consent from Mr. Breivik.
Are the commission stating that as long as any accused consent to the deception of the public, editors and journalists are allowed to deceive the public in their newspapers; that findings of guilt are not made in courts of law, but by newspapers editors and journalists?
If not, could they please clearly and specifically clarify what their decision concludes, based upon what arguments and evidence.
Respectfully,
Lara Johnstone
