Journalist. At the moment social media correspondant at Alltid Nyheter, the new live news channel at Swedish public radio, but the views on this blog do in no way reflect those of my employer.
Both 1/3 and 100% Egyptian, which doesn’t mean I’m not interested in other MENA countries as well. Languages I can get by in: English, Swedish, Finnish, Arabic (Egyptian), French, German. Have worked for a variety of publications such as SVT, TV4, SR, DN, SvD, TT, Siren, Re:public and UNradio + freelance work.
Done everything from business to culture. If there are any favourite topics on my side I guess they would be:
*) Minority issues and mainstreaming
*) Foreign news
*) The future of journalism in a digital democracy
Like being a reporter but love being the editor. And a moderator. And lecturing, which I have done a couple of times at the journalism program at Stockholm University and Fojo, the Swedish institute for further education of journaists.
Was curating Egypt’s revolution and have tried to do what I can manage with the following uprisings.
Lived and reported from Egypt 2007-2008.
Blogging and tweeting in my spare time.
