October 2020: For Swedish public broadcaster SVT, I interviewed four young political leaders and a political science professor in North Carolina to get their views on whether America is moving in an authoritarian direction. The first version is a shorter video with three of the interviewees included. A version with all five can be seen below.
Interviewees: Thomas Ellis – Vice President, UNC Young Democrats Madi Mrzygod, President, NC State College Democrats Ashley Anderson, Political Science Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Tim Wigginton, Press Secretary, the Republican Party of North Carolina Devonte Wilson, President, Young Democrats of North Carolina
I’m a Swedish journalist with international experience, having worked in the UK and Sweden, and having studied in the US, Britain and Sweden.
Most recently, I was tasked with explaining American politics and the Democratic primaries for the online news department of the Swedish public TV broadcaster, SVT, where I made videos from scratch. This required a variety of skills like researching, scripting, presenting, filming, lighting, editing, and writing.
Before that, I worked for Swedish public radio, where I edited videos and images for the social media feeds of the news department. I also live-tweeted important radio events and was in charge of writing the first words published by Swedish public radio on numerous stories.
While I was studying in London, I was a video producer for The Sun, one of the biggest British newspapers. I quickly took on a lot of responsibilities in a fast-paced news environment.
