Vacant job

Swedish Radio's mission is to broadcast radio in the public interest, and we have 7.4 million listeners each week. More than half of the population engages with our offerings in some form every day, whether through live linear radio or on-demand, via FM, on our own digital platforms, or with other providers. We provide credible knowledge, in-depth content, companionship, and entertainment. Working at Swedish Radio means that, regardless of your role, you are a valuable part of an important mission.

Swedish Radio P4 is a nationwide radio channel and is by far our most listened-to channel. It is used by the 25 local radio stations across the country that broadcast regionally. We are the fast and present channel that starts from our listeners' everyday lives and simultaneously connects them across Sweden and the rest of the world. P4 produces large amounts of local content but is often also responsible for national productions that are broadcast on P1, P2, P3, and P4. We also have an emergency mission that involves broadcasting important messages for the public, including follow-up information. On an average day, about 34% of Sweden's population listens to us.

We are now looking for a presenter/live reporter for P4 Västmanland.

P4 Västmanland is looking for someone who loves the pulse of news, is passionate about the local scene, and has a strong drive.

As a live reporter, you will be out in the entire county conducting both planned live interviews and capturing spontaneous meetings with people who might never have been heard on the radio otherwise. You enjoy being entertaining but are not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions.
