SVT Nyheter – more than 1,000 news stories

Most of my work never ends up in a portfolio: it is daily news. Over the years I have worked on well over a thousand news stories for SVT (I double-checked in SVT's archive) – most of them since 2016, the first ones back in 2006. And that is only the edited stories: the hundreds of live broadcasts I have worked on for SVT are not part of these numbers.

More than 1,000 news stories
More than 25 hours of broadcast time
Around 500 stories for Rapport, more than 200 for Kulturnyheterna and about 100 for Aktuellt
Plus hundreds of live broadcasts, which are not counted here

The stories cover almost everything that has shaped the news in Sweden over the last ten years: elections and party leaders, the pandemic, migration, Sweden joining NATO, the war in Ukraine, Brexit, climate and culture. Many of them take place outside Sweden, most often in Germany: SVT often asks me to work on stories about Germany, as I am one of the few at the broadcaster who speak fluent German.

I work for SVT's national news programmes and for SVT Nyheter online, as well as the morning shows Gomorron Sverige and Morgonstudion, the Finnish-language news Uutiset, the children's news Lilla Aktuellt and several regional newsrooms.

Year by year

2006–2014 – The first stories, produced while working with Folke Rydén: reports from Baghdad and Iraq for Rapport and Aktuellt, the US presidential election in 2012 and the Rohingya for Agenda.
2016 – In my first year at SVT I produced about 160 stories, mostly for Rapport and Aktuellt and in Finnish for Uutiset: refugees and asylum, the Brexit vote, the US election, North Korea's nuclear tests and the Olympics in Rio.
2017 – Swedish politics in a year of party conflicts, fake news and security, plus the first stories for Lilla Aktuellt.
2018 – The Swedish election year: party leader interviews, campaign events and the housing market, along with news from abroad for the morning show.
2019 – Climate and the economy, the Liberals' party congress, and culture for Kulturnyheterna, including the tribute concert for Avicii and the death of Marie Fredriksson.
2020 – The pandemic year. I had taken a placement at Kulturnyheterna just before corona started to change the way we worked and lived in Sweden, so most of my stories that year – around 90 – were about culture: how art, music, film and design dealt with the pandemic.
2021 – Vaccines and corona restrictions, Almedalen during a government crisis, the fall of Kabul and Germany's election.
2022 – Russia's war against Ukraine: NATO's new battlegroups in the east, energy prices and nuclear power, Ukrainian refugees, and a Swedish trial about a child soldier for IS.
2023 – Gang violence and explosions, school and pensions, the election in Poland, art looted from Ukraine, and many film and book reviews.
2024 – Another big year, about 145 stories: nuclear power, record drug seizures, Iran's networks in Sweden, Europe's elections and culture from the Berlinale to Margaret Atwood.
2025 – Trump's tariffs, the conflict between Iran and Israel, the Swedish economy and party congresses, and reviews such as Taylor Swift's new album.
2026 – A year of security and preparedness: Gripen jets for Ukraine, Russia's shadow fleet, the terror attack in Berlin, the wildfire in Drammen, the Swedish election and the opening of the Riksdag – and more stories for Lilla Aktuellt than ever.

About the numbers

The numbers come from SVT's archive system, searched for my name in November 2026. The hundreds of live broadcasts I have worked on are not included, neither in the number of stories nor in the broadcast time. The broadcast time only counts the stories whose length the archive shows, so the real figure is higher.
