The incoming US correspondent Anders Tvegård believes the correspondent position is the most exciting job you can get at news. Among other things, he refers to the upcoming presidential election and major changes in Latin America. Known waters The USA is not unknown territory for Tvegård. From 2010 to 2014 he was a correspondent and since then he has been back several times. Now he is looking forward to once again getting close to the continent which is “constantly changing its face”. – It’s not enough to sit at home and read online articles, you have to be in the US, get it under your skin. You have to use all your journalistic senses. He believes it is a privilege to be able to go, but emphasizes that he does not do the job alone. Tvegård refers to his colleagues at news and describes them as an extended family. In addition, he is grateful for his family at home. – I am grateful that they adjust their lives so that I can have such an experience. – I am both happy, grateful and humble. And not least excited. After 25 years at news, it is inspiring to see that the train has not left, he says. – Solid – Anders Tvegård is a very solid foreign journalist with lots of experience. That’s what foreign affairs chief Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen says, pointing to Tvegård’s deep and broad understanding of the United States and American politics. – He has previously been a US correspondent and had many and long stays there. That experience is going to be very important as the United States enters a fateful election. Mikkelsen mentions several important events in the coming time, both the Republican nomination, the trials against Trump and the election of president in 2024.
