The media profile describes it as a prize draw for both herself and Expressen. The newspaper's acting editor-in-chief and responsible publisher Klas Granström writes in a press release that Wallin's perspective on social development will be a strong addition to the newspaper.
Cissi Wallin was convicted by the Stockholm District Court in December for gross defamation against former Aftonbladet journalist Fredrik Virtanen. In a number of Instagram posts published during the so-called #MeToo autumn 2017, she accused Fredrik Virtanen of rape. After the posts were published, Virtanen had to leave his position at Aftonbladet. Both Wallin and Virtanen have appealed against the judgment.
