Hello! I'm Greta. I am a journalist with experience in reporting, editing and audience development serving local audiences. I am a digital producer at POLITICO. Previously, I was a multiplatform editor at The Washington Post and the executive editor of The State Press, ASU's student-run news publication. SPJ named The State Press the No. 1 online independent student publication in the nation for 2021.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and moved to Phoenix to study journalism and mass communication at the Walter Cronkite School at ASU in 2019, before moving to D.C. in summer 2023. If you'd like to connect, please send me an email at gforslund@comcast.net.
