CHRISTINA SKREIBERG // freelance journalist // etc

HEY YOU!

Christina Skreiberg (28) is a feature journalist, contributing to the weekend supplements of Norwegian national papers and also to international magazines.

She is based in her hometown Oslo, but has also lived in Pittsburgh (1998-99), Guatemala (2001), London (2001 -2006) and Copenhagen (2007).

She has her journalism degree from City University of London. During her 4 years in London she worked part time for The Times and then, in pure DIY spirit, launched the East London magazine "ditched". The magazine had a distribution of 15,000 copies, and Christina was nominated for The Guardian Student Media Award for her work as editor and publisher.

She writes about issues such as culture, art, lifestyle trends, travel and a lot more. She loves meeting people from any kind of social/financial/political/religious background. The REAL ones, the CREATORS and the SURVIVORS - as they usually carry personal & extraordinary stories.

Christina also runs journalism-workshops & lectures for media-students, with the norwegian organization 'Avis i Skolen', as well as doing freelance consultancy work for the norwegian media association; Mediebedriftenes Landsforening.

DJ & DESIGN

In addition to her journalistic work, Christina plays records from time to time. She has played in New York (Sting appeared in the club), during Copenhagen Fashion Week, in The Gambia, at an open air stage during Distortion Festival in Copenhagen in front of 4000 happy dancers, and of course, in her hometown Oslo. She either plays solo, with her cousin – the duo goes under name Donna Martin & Brenda Walsh, or in collaboration with violinist Marte Krogh. Check out: Donna Martin & Brenda Walsh

Christina also makes accessories, such as chunky knitted colourful scarves and necklaces. So far they've been sold in boutiques in London, Copenhagen and Oslo, and now it's only available from her own webshop: www.the-christinaskreiberg-shop.com
