Brennpunkt (lit. 'Focal Point') is a Norwegian investigative documentary series and division of the NRK. The series has aired since 1996, except for a hiatus in 2007.[1] It was originally hosted by Håkon Haugsbø, and from 2014 by Jeanette Platou.[2][3] As of February 2024, the series has been produced without an on-screen presenter since 2019.
The series has won several Gullruten awards,[4] as well as a Prix Italia award[5] and a Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding International Investigative Journalism (in cooperation with journalists from BBC's Newsnight, The Guardian and de Volkskrant, for exposing activities of the Trafigura company).[6]
