About

I’m a journalist with international experience, having worked and studied in the U.S., U.K., Austria, and Sweden. I started working as a U.S. Reporter for The Independent in Washington, D.C. in December 2020. In September 2023, I was promoted to Politics Reporter. In Stockholm, 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 the outlet on numerous stories. While I was studying in London, I was a video producer for The Sun, one of the biggest British newspapers, where I quickly took on a lot of responsibilities in a fast-paced news environment.To see some examples of my work, please check out my website at gustafkilander.com.
