Since 1896, the Storthing has annually voted 2000 kr. for
travelling studentships (2 of 1000 kr. each) to enable Norwegian
journalists to visit foreign countries.

Legislation. The legal provisions that especially concern the
press are § 100 of the fundamental law; the ordinance of the 27th
September, 1799, which «determines and explains more fully the
limits to the liberty of the press»; Cap. 25 of the penal law,
«concerning crimes by printed writings and the like», compared
with provisions in Cap. 8, 9, 10 and 17; law concerning copyright
in literature and art of the 4th July, 1893.

Statistics. A few figures will give an idea of the development
which the press has gone through in Norway in the course of
