– I got a job at TV4 after the extra job at the reception and quickly ended up among a lot of established journalists who were involved in starting Aktuellt, ABC and then Nyheterna. They had real reporter noses paired with a commercial flair. It was a good school where people worked hard and I quickly felt at home, Jenny told in an interview with the industry magazine Summary.

Jenny Strömstedt has got a new job – after 19 years at Nyhetsmorgon
One of Jenny’s colleagues at the channel, and the one who was her partner in Nyhetsmorgon for a long time is Steffo Törnquist. Steffo was involved in starting TV4 with the television legend Lars Weiss 1989, and has therefore been at the TV4 house since the 1990s. And there is a reason why Steffo has not switched to any competing channel in these four decades that have passed.
– It’s something I’ve learned in life. That if you have a platform that you like, then you should be afraid of it. It’s nice to have it. You don’t have to hold on and change, Steffo said when he visited Bathina Philipsson podcast Bathina’s separate meetings.
Maybe Jenny reasons a little like Steffo? Because now Jenny has a new job – and that too at TV4. After 19 years on Nyhetsmorgon, Jenny livens up – and really. First, she will lead TV4 Talk – USA Valet, which is the channel’s coverage of the upcoming American presidential election, a thriller that stands between Donald Trump and the picker Kamala Harris.
