FOLLOW THE HEIRS(to follow the money)
• In 2007 VG and E24 conducted a data-intensive and extensive documentation of the close links between the heirs to the 400 largest fortunes in Norway.
• The computer-assisted research formed the basis for a series of articles uncovering close connections within a self-preserving elite.
• The underlying network database was presented to the readers to prove the validity of the findings.
• The database was made clickable and interactive.
• We downloaded information about all Norwegian movies made since 1995.
• 114 movies, 601 actors/actresses, 77 instructors.
More members of Parliament could have received improper pension. But who?
They should meet following criteria:
• Member of Parliament at least 12 years.• Younger than 65 when they started receiving pension.• The sum of age and number of years as a member > 75.
Data downloaded from www.stortinget.no of all members from 1977 – 2008Data cleaning in Excel. Searching in Access.
But: Everything had to be checked manually using classic journalism: Journalists called everybody on the list asking for if they had received pension.
