Min fantastiska kollega @beckywaterton.bsky.social finns med på Dagens Medias lista över "de personer som spås bli medievärldens nästa toppnamn." Kul och mycket välförtjänt!
DAGENS MEDIA . Becky Waterton, Biträdande redaktör, The Local Sweden Det är många som vandrat iväg från journalistiken in i marknadsföringsvärlden. Becky Waterton gjorde tvörtom. Hon växte snabbt med uppgiften och skapade sig en stark röst som journalist, där hon utan att blinka ställer makthavare mot väggen och pratar med läsare med samma självklarhet. Imponerande nog är hon dessutom flytande i både svenska (med skånsk dialekt) och danska, trots att hon ar från Storbritannien och flyttade till Sverige för inte mycket mer an fem år sedan.

Some comments from readers of The Local after the government confirmed that it wants the Migration Agency to slow down the (already backlogged) process of awarding citizenship

The comments read: Joe 2024/12/01 09:44 Sc*^# this. I’m moving back to the States. I don’t believe i just wasted two years of my life living in this country earning half what I did in USA while paying 50% more in taxes! Brian 2024/12/01 09:30 The implication in the comments are that immigrants commit all the crimes and Swedish citizens do nothing wrong at all. This is an insult to migrants. Nilabh 2024/12/01 09:07 My biggest worry is in the future by the time new rules are in place, MV will have a huge backlog which will take decades to clear. So effectively honest taxpayers will not just have to wait 5 or 8 years but maybe 15 years for example. Hector 2024/12/01 04:14 We should probably hold a referendum to see if these politicians are Swedish enough, what with inventing ways to enforce laws from the future. One would think that these tactics are not in accordance with the lawful swedish way.
