Pontus Westerberg

pontusMe? You could call me a serial expat, I guess. I’m Swedish but I grew up in East and Southern Africa, have lived in the UK for the last eight years and I’m married to a Basque girl.

My undergraduate studies were in Economics and International Development and since I graduated in 2004 I’ve been doing digital communications work for non-profit organisations in the UK, Africa and South America. At the moment I’m combining studying an MA in Global Media and Postnational Communications with working as a web editor for the UK’s largest social investor.

I’m particularly interested in how the web can be used for social good, the ‘death’ (or not) of journalism and ICT for development. I’m a firm believer that information needs to remain free (in several senses) on the interwebs.

Parts of my heart are in London, Stockholm, Härnösand, San Sebastian, Accra and Nairobi.

Oh, and I love Wordpress.
