Career

Weber Skjærpe was born in Stavanger, where he was a member of the Young Liberals of Norway in the 1960s.[1] Skjærpe later graduated with the cand.polit. degree in political science at the University of Oslo. He also taught political science and sociology at the University of Oslo and was editor-in-chief of the student newspaper Universitas from 1971 to 1972.[2] Skjærpe worked as journalist for Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 11 years, before becoming cultural director for Stavanger Municipality in 1985.[3] Controversy arose when he stated that Oslo did not deserve to host the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest, claiming it had "neglected the culture".[4] The travel director of Oslo stated that his claim was wrong, pointing to Oslo Municipality's recent investments like Det Norske Teatret.[5]

In 1986 Skjærpe wanted to become editorial chief of NRK P1.[6] He instead returned to his position as a journalist in NRK before becoming editor-in-chief of A/S Avis.[7][8] After A/S Avis was discontinued after a few months, Skjærpe became editor of Radio Nettverk.[9] In 1992 Skjærpe was hired as a fellow worker for NRK Radio in Oslo.[10] In 1994 he was hired as information manager for the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities.[2][11] In 1997 Weber Skjærpe was promoted to director of communications and strategy in the same association, where he has been ever since.[2] Skjærpe was also the acting chief executive of the association in 2009.[12][13] He took over from Olav Ulleren,[14] until Sigrun Vågeng took over.[2] Weber stayed in the association as director of communications and strategy.[15]
