Tonight's guest speaker is Jonathan Power, who has been a highly successful international foreign affairs columnist for over 40 years. For 17 years he was a columnist and commentator for the International Herald Tribune (now the New York Times). He has interviewed over 70 of the world's most famous and influential presidents, prime ministers, and political and literary icons.  He is also a published author with his recent works including:

  • Ending War Crimes, Chasing the War Criminals (2017)
  • The Human Flow: A Novel Uncovering the Brutal Realities of West African Migrant Trafficking (2023)
  • When Are You Going to Get a Proper Job? (Sixty Years in Journalism, the World was My Oyster) 2025

Jonathan grew up in Oldham and Liverpool, has travelled the world (to put it mildly) and now lives in Lund.

 

Tonight, Jonathan will share some of his insights from his long career in investigative journalism and publishing and why the mainstream media is desperately in need of reform.

 

This will be a hybrid meeting held at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Malmö, and virtually on Zoom.
