If you have a story that matters – something the Swedish public should know about, or a development that isn’t getting the scrutiny it deserves – we want to hear from you. This page tells you how to reach us, what makes a strong tip, and what happens once you send it.
What kind of stories are you looking for?
We are interested in policy developments, public-interest stories and investigative leads that touch on Swedish politics, economics, culture or society. Whether it concerns the Riksdag, the government, municipal politics, business or everyday life in Sweden, we welcome well-sourced information that helps our readers understand complex issues.
Concrete examples include changes in legislation that may have unintended consequences, patterns of spending in local councils, trends in the economy that affect households, cultural policy debates, or social developments that are underreported. We cover Swedish news for both a domestic and international audience, so stories with cross-border relevance are particularly valuable. Our editorial mission is trustworthy journalism without spin – tips that help us explain the nuances of Swedish affairs are always welcome.
How do I send a tip?
You can email us at tips@wochenanalyse.de for confidential submissions, newsdesk@wochenanalyse.de for general news tips, or press@wochenanalyse.de for press-related inquiries. All emails are monitored by our editorial team.
If you are unsure which address to use, tips@wochenanalyse.de is the best starting point. For corrections to previously published articles, please use corrections@wochenanalyse.de – our corrections policy explains the process. For anything else, info@wochenanalyse.de will reach the right team member. We aim to acknowledge receipt of tip emails within two working days, though high volumes may delay a response.
What should I include in my tip?
A good tip includes a clear summary of the story, supporting documents or evidence where possible, and your contact details if you are willing to be contacted. The more context you can provide, the easier it is for our editors to assess its significance.
Specifically, you might include: a short description of what you know, why you believe it is newsworthy, any documents, screenshots, links or data that back up the claim, and whether you have spoken to other sources. If you wish to remain anonymous, you do not have to give your name – but any background on your expertise or relationship to the story helps us gauge reliability. For example, “I work in the procurement office of X municipality and have noticed that…” gives us a valuable perspective even if your name is withheld.
How do we verify tips?
All tips are reviewed by our fact-checking desk led by Lea Schreiber, who oversees source verification and accuracy. We follow the procedures outlined in our fact‑checking policy and sources and standards to ensure that every story we publish meets our editorial integrity requirements.
Verification may include checking public records, reaching out to named individuals, cross-referencing with official databases, or requesting additional documentation. Our editors will never publish a story based on a single anonymous tip without corroboration. If a tip cannot be verified or does not meet our threshold of public interest, we will not pursue it – but we may still keep your information on file for future reference.
What happens after I submit?
Once we receive your tip, an editor will review it and, if it fits our editorial mission, assign it to a reporter for further investigation. We will acknowledge receipt where possible, but we cannot guarantee a follow-up on every submission.
If your tip leads to a published story, you may be contacted for additional details or to fact-check our understanding. We aim to keep you informed of progress when feasible, but the timeline depends on the complexity of the report. All stories, whether sourced from tips or other channels, go through the same editorial process – drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact‑checked before publication. You can learn more about our team on our team page.
How does confidentiality work?
We treat all tip submissions confidentially. If you wish to remain anonymous, please indicate that in your message. Our team will respect your wishes and use secure communication channels as needed.
We will not share your identity with external parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law. Even if you provide your name and contact details, we will only use them for editorial purposes – to verify facts or follow up. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data. For highly sensitive material, you can also use our encrypted email address (contact us at info@wochenanalyse.de for details).
How this works in practice
Suppose you notice that a municipal council in a small Swedish town is quietly awarding contracts to a company linked to a local politician. You send us the public procurement records, your observation of a pattern and any relevant background. Our editor assigns a reporter, who works with the fact‑checking desk to verify documents and interview sources. The resulting story is fact‑checked, reviewed and published with proper sourcing.
In that case, we would first confirm the company’s ownership structure using official registers. Then we would request comment from the politician and the council. If the evidence holds, the article would include direct links to the procurement documents and a note on how we verified them. The piece would appear online with a byline, and a correction note if any minor errors are later found. This process applies to every story – whether it’s a major policy investigation or a local culture feature.
