I spent last week covering the Eurovision in Malmö with great colleagues from @ekstrabladet. The week culminated on Saturday during the finals when a large group of protesters gathered outside @malmoarena to protest against Israel’s participation in this year’s song contest. On a positive note, I just really want to praise the way both protesters and the police gave room for the press to work. Both sides were helpful, with protesters helping me avoid obstacles when I was walking backwards filming, and the police let me pass unhindered through barricades and didn’t try to prevent me from filming arrests and push backs. I am grateful to live in a part of the world where the press has the ability to work so freely. Covering protests is not always so smooth but this time it was a true pleasure. #eurovision2024 #protests #malmoagainstgenocide #workingconditions #pressfreedom #videojournalist #videojournalism
