Gunilla in Helsingborg
I know, I haven’t quite been living up to my New Mexico standard of posting (i e, daily)… I’ve been in Sweden since Tuesday, and sadly realize that wireless access is not quite as exquisite here as in the US!
Anyway, right now I am not in Stockholm, but in the stylish city of Helsingborg in southern Sweden.
Helsingborgs stad - Norra Hamnen
I am combining my eternal endeavour as a gourmet food reporter
Niklas restaurang
with attending the seminar of the Swedish section of Investigative Reporters and Editors Gräv 2005 - program.
Or, the actual truth is I have wanted to check out the “Niklas” restaurant for years, as well as the new architecture in this city - and all of a sudden, an opportunity presented itself, as the annual seminar of Swedish investigative journalists happened to happen here this year.
This annual seminar is a very nice way of meeting up with editors, reporters, and other collegues, and pitching ideas… I have not attended it since 2000, because I have been in New York the last years this time of the year. Very fun and inspirationa; to be back at “Gräv”, and it has actually been quite productive, too, since I have discussed a few ideas for investigative stories with a producer of one particular news show…. always nice to have productive meetings in hotel lounges…. To be continued (I hope)!
