The authorities at Ila prison, where Breivik stays, discussed whether journalists can meet Breivik. For security reasons, prison management requested assistance from the Ministry of Justice.

On the other hand, Norwegian television NRK wrote Breivik will be interviewed before the trial starts in April - by a foreign TV channel. Authorities have not yet commented on the matter.

In his so-called manifesto, Breivik had written extensively about his thoughts to be published on the press. In a separate sub-chapter, he gives advice on how to negotiate with like-minded journalists in an interview.
