As a teenager Johanna Karlsson got so far under the skin of a local newspaper editor that he gave her an album to review to see if she could do it better. Turned out she could, and thus a career in journalism was born.
Johanna has always taken the road less travelled, and one of her best-known stories centred on the restaurant business in Malmö and how power, money and influence rooted in the restaurants of the city's Möllevången district echoed all the way Bangladesh.
It was a spicy tale of cheap beer, child brides and marriages of convenience, but ultimately it was about the price people seeking a better life would be prepared to pay. For some, it would be very high indeed.
