Elsa Caroline Annette Kullenberg (née Borgström; 9 January 1939 – 28 January 2021) was a Swedish journalist and author.
Biography
editKullenberg was born in Stockholm. She studied philosophy at Uppsala University, and started working as a journalist in the early 1960s. She worked at Aftonbladet for 25 years and quit in 2002 after a conflict with the editor-in-chief Anders Gerdin regarding the content of a column about Princess Madeleine of Sweden. The conflict started when Gerdin, without informing Kullenberg, modified the content of the column, downplaying the princess' problematic alcohol consumption.[1] Moreover, Kullenberg served as a foreign correspondent stationed in Buenos Aires and Barcelona for six years. She was also the chairman of the Swedish publicist club between 1994 and 1997.[2]
Kullenberg's first novel was Vänd på dig (published in 1967), and her second book, Överklassen i Sverige, was released in 1974, followed by Urp! sa överklassen in 1995.[3] She also worked as a dramatist with a dozen radio and television plays to her credit.
Since 2009, Kullenberg wrote columns for Expressen.[4]
Kullenberg died on 28 January 2021, at the age of 82, after contracting COVID-19, in Hospital de Cascais in Portugal, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal.[5][6] Her brother Claes Borgström died from the same disease in Stockholm on 15 May 2020.[7]
