- I will have incredible fun and I look forward to experiencing exciting things and above all to meeting a lot of people, says Viktor Lundmark, who at the turn of the year is SVT News Norrbotten's reporter stationed in Arvidsjaur.

More journalism

In SVT's new broadcasting license, there is a requirement that journalism in poorly guarded areas should be strengthened. On the basis of Arvidsjaur, Viktor Lundmark is to monitor Norrbotten's inland every two weeks with the municipalities Arvidsjaur and Arjeplog, and every two weeks north of Västerbotten inland with resorts such as Sorsele and Storuman.

- When you are born in Norrbotten you have the long distances and driving in the milk of the killer. So I don't see it as any major problem, says Viktor Lundmark.

The population a fate issue

Something that is an important and interesting area of ​​surveillance in the inland counties is the demographics, notes Viktor Lundmark. Demographics is about the size, composition and distribution of the population. With an aging population at the same time as many unemployed people are leaving the inland municipalities, it becomes a big issue to watch.

- Demographics are a real fate issue for the hinterland. I will have to do a lot of reporting on that. There are many issues that go into demographics, such as health care and the elderly.
