Remaking the Newsmakers

In my doctoral project at the University of Helsinki, I explore the Swedish foreign aid program for media development. 

Between Dream and Reality

Early Career Experiences Among Young Swedish Journalists

This research project explores young journalists’ first professional experiences through summer internships. These internships are a key entry point into the Swedish media industry but take place in a context of precarious employment and shifting journalistic ideals. The study examines how young journalists experience these internships, the challenges and opportunities they encounter, and how the experience influences their view of the profession and future career choices.

Past:
Agent Orange

Agent Orange is the herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. It is estimated that 4 million Vietnamese citizens were exposed to it, and as many as 3 million have suffered illnesses as a result. Over 40 years after the war ended, children are still being born with severe birth defects caused by the herbicide.

Between 2012 and 2014, I traveled to various locations in southern Vietnam to meet with survivors and those living with the ongoing consequences of wartime exposure.

Past:
Båtflyktingar till Gotland (in Swedish)

Jag belönades med ett hedersomnämnande i Röda korsets journalistpris 2014 för reportaget ”Här slutade resan från helvetet” som publicerades i Sydsvenskan och Gotlands Tidningar 2014.

Under Almedalsveckan 2014 intervjuade jag några av intervjupersonerna från reportaget ”Här slutade flykten från helvetet” på biografen Roxy i Visby. Arrangemanget var en del av Röda Korsets temadag för medmänsklighet. Läs och lyssna på de gotländska mediernas rapportering om arrangemanget nedan.

Under hösten 2016 var mitt reportage en del av Gotlands Museums utställning ”Välkommen till Sverige”. Utställningsperioden avslutades den 14 januari 2017 med att han modererade ett panelsamtal om flyktingmottagande, integration och möjligheter under temat ”Välkommen till Gotland”.
