Annette Kullenberg


Elsa Caroline Annette Kullenberg is a Swedish journalist and author. She studied philosophy at Uppsala University, and she started working as a journalist in the early 1960s. She worked at Aftonbladet for 25 years and quit in 2002 after a conflict with the editor-in-chief Anders Gerdin regarding the content of a column about Princess Madeleine of Sweden. The conflict started when Gerdin, without informing Kullenberg, modified the content of the column, downplaying the princess' problematic alcohol consumption. Moreover, Kullenberg served as a foreign correspondent stationed in Buenos Aires and Barcelona for six years. She was also the chairman of the Swedish publicist club between 1994 and 1997.
Kullenberg's first novel was Vänd på dig, and her second book, Överklassen i Sverige, was released in 1974, followed by Urp! sa överklassen in 1995. She has also been working as a dramatist with a dozen radio and television plays to her credit.
Since 2009, Kullenberg writes columns for Expressen.
