Tell us a little bit about yourself

My name is Johanna Lagerfors, Im 28 years old and currently employed as a reporter for the foreign news section of the news paper Göteborgs-Posten (Gothenburg Post). I will be there until september 2012, and after that freelance, as I've also done in the past.

My focus are social issues, both in Sweden and abroad, and I often travel when I work. The last year I've reported from Western Sahara (about Moroccos occupation), Morocco (about their role in the arab spring), Norway (the Utöya terror attack), Japan (Fukushima nuclear and tsunami disaster, Great Britain (2011 summer riots), Greece (the economic crisis) and more.

As a freelancer I work for both news papers and magazines.
