Norway's government said on Friday that it planned to tighten media ownership limits, which would curb growth opportunities at home for Norway's top media group, Schibsted. Culture Minister Trond Giske said that companies could not have more than a third of the total daily circulation of all newspapers, a third of total television viewers or a third of the total radio audience. The current limit is 40 percent.
