Hans Jacob Neumann Ustvedt (4 July 1903 – 26 January 1982) was a Norwegian medical doctor and broadcasting administrator.
He was a driving force of the doctors' resistance during World War II, had to flee to Sweden in 1942, and was leading the medical office at the Norwegian legation in Stockholm.
[4] At the same time he participated in European tuberculosis organizations, and was a member of the board of the Norwegian aid programme in Kerala, India.
He was appointed Director-General of the NRK in 1962, largely due to votes of members of the Broadcasting Council, and held this position until 1972.
[1] The development of television, then a relatively new and strong medium, led to several fights over program policy, from vanguard theatre repertoire to sexual education in school.
A period of significant increase in staff size, combined with a general radicalisation among young academics, led to both external and internal conflicts.
