Madeleine Svärd Huss
Chief Press Officer, Karolinska Institutet
Press Office and Editorial Content Professional
My professional journey is deeply rooted in journalism and media relations. My journey at the medical university Karolinska Institutet (KI), began in 2007 as an editor. Over the years, I’ve served as the editor of the staff magazine KI Bladet and held the position of editor-in-chief for KI News. Today, I hold dual roles as the Chief Press Officer and Head of the Press and Editorial Content Unit within the Communications and Public Relations Office.
In my position, I oversee both media relations and editorial content. Leading a dedicated team of ten professionals, we provide comprehensive services, including press services, research news, strategic communication from management, and expert advice to teachers, researchers, and university administration. Our commitment extends to external monitoring and crisis communication. By engaging with diverse audiences, we foster transparency and dialogue, amplifying KI’s impact and reputation.
