Poppius journalistskola

Poppius journalistskola is Scandinavia's oldest journalism school.

[1] The school was founded in 1947 in Stockholm by the journalist and editor Set Poppius who had a long working life of experience in the field of journalism.

It was for a long time the only private journalism school in the entire Nordic region; only Germany and the USA at that time had similar private schools.

The school soon developed a good reputation amongst journalists, and many praised the school such as Majgull Axelsson, Caroline Älvebrink Calais, Beppe Wolgers, Svante Foerster, Carl Otto Werkelid, Malou von Sivers, Mona Krantz, Hans Nestius, Mats Lundegård, Sten Hedman, Magdalena Ribbing, Kristin Kaspersen, Fredrik Lindström and Carolina Neurath.

The school today is run by a non profit foundation and is financed solely by student tuition fees.
