Örjan Wallqvist

"The TV2 era taught me to collaborate with so-called difficult people. It gave me a desire to be close to reality and to contribute to other people's work with my own skills in organization and finance, and to get some fragile spirits to believe in their own abilities, an effort inspired by my own experiences. I also believe that some of my colleagues gained a new perspective on what administration and sound economy were about. Long afterwards, I could talk about "us at TV2." We who led the work still meet for lunch now and then. But the ranks are thinning, and I miss Örjan Wallqvist and Lars Hansegård, who are no longer with us."

"We came up with a lot of good suggestions, including the not entirely uncontroversial idea that I should not only write about stocks but also reflect on broader events in the business world. There was quite a bit of talk about this exotic column in the magazine Vi, and that was roughly what Örjan Wallqvist had envisioned. His renewal of the magazine Vi earned him the Stora Journalistpriset in 1967."
