About

As the data journalism editor I work with projects for the news and the investigative teams. I create or download databases from almost anywhere I can find them. I clean and analyze the data and make it available for reporters, researchers and editors in the news room and for longer investigative projects. I work in Postgres Sql, SQL Server, MS Access and MS Excel. I dabble in Perl, mainly to use for cleaning up files. I have a background as both a database consultant (way back when in the 80-es and early 90-ties), an investigative journalist (10 years with the investigative team at Swedish Television), two years working as the database editor at The Center for Public Integrity in Washington, DC and tre years at the Guardian in London.
