If you have information, documents, or a story idea that you believe deserves wider attention in Sweden or beyond, we want to hear from you. Sonderanalyse (sonderanalyse.de) is a independent Swedish digital news publisher registered in Gibraltar, and our editorial mission is built on the principle that trustworthy journalism requires the active participation of informed readers. Tips from the public are a vital part of how we discover policy developments, uncover public-interest stories, and hold power to account in areas from riksdagen and regeringen to kommunpolitik, wirtschaft news, and broader Swedish culture and society.
What makes a good tip for Sonderanalyse?
A strong tip is one that connects to a concrete, verifiable story with clear Swedish relevance. We are particularly interested in policy developments that affect public life, such as proposed laws, regulatory changes, or government decisions in the riksdagen or regeringen. Municipal politik—decisions made at the local level by kommuner—is equally important, and we welcome tips about council decisions, local budgets, or public services that have broader implications. Wirtschaft news, covering the Swedish economy, market movements, and household finances, is a core focus, as are stories about culture, society, and current affairs that help readers understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification.
How should I send a tip?
You can reach our editorial team directly through the dedicated tip line at tips@sonderanalyse.de, or for general news and urgent matters, use newsdesk@sonderanalyse.de. If your tip relates to a press release, official statement, or media inquiry, the press@sonderanalyse.de address is also monitored daily. For all other contact, including commercial or privacy-related questions, our main general address is info@sonderanalyse.de.
What should I include in my tip?
To help us assess your tip quickly, include as much context as possible: your name, contact information, and a clear, concise summary of what you know. Specify the exact policy, decision, or event you are referring to, and provide any relevant documents, links, or supporting evidence. If you are sharing a story idea for kultur, society, or livsstil, outline why it matters to a Swedish audience. We do not require you to be a journalist, but a tip that is specific, sourced, and focused on a verifiable claim is much more likely to move forward. For reference, see our full Sources & Standards page.
How do we verify tips?
Every tip we receive is reviewed by our standards desk, led by Anna Engels, who serves as our Ansvarig för faktagranskning. She and her team follow a rigorous process of source verification, fact-checking, and cross-referencing before any story is published. We never rely on a single source alone. You can read about our detailed verification methods on our Fact-Checking Policy page, which outlines how we check quotes, data, and original documents. Our editorial mission requires that every piece is approved by a human editor, and no AI tool may fabricate quotes, sources, or expert profiles.
Is my tip confidential?
Yes. Protecting the identity and safety of tipsters is a core commitment of our editorial practice. You can submit a tip anonymously, though we strongly encourage you to provide a way for us to follow up if we need clarification. If you ask us to keep your name off the record, we will honour that request, and we will not share your contact details with any third party. For more on our data handling, see our Privacy Policy. If your tip involves sensitive information, please mark it clearly as confidential in the subject line of your email.
What happens after submission?
Once your tip is received by our newsdesk or editorial team, it is logged and assigned a case number. Our editors, including Redaktionschef Julia Schmid and Politikredaktör Christian Jung, will review it within 1–3 business days. If we decide to pursue the story, we will contact you to discuss next steps, potentially requesting additional documents or an interview. If we cannot proceed, we will let you know, but we may still use the information to inform our broader understanding of a topic. All tips are treated as confidential until a decision is made.
What you can expect from us
When you submit a tip to Sonderanalyse, you can expect a professional, ethical response. Our editorial team is committed to accuracy, fairness, and transparency. We will not run a story based on your tip without first confirming its facts through independent sources, and we will never publish a story that compromises your safety or privacy without your consent. Every story we publish is labelled with a byline, reviewed by an editor, and checked by our fact-checking desk. If you have provided a specific document, we may ask for permission to share it with our editorial team or to verify its authenticity through our Sources & Standards page.
How do we handle corrections?
If you believe we have made an error in a story that was based on your tip or any other source, please write directly to corrections@sonderanalyse.de with the story title and a clear description of the mistake. Our corrections team, led by Anna Engels, will review the issue against our Corrections Policy and will issue a public correction, update, or retraction as appropriate. We take mistakes seriously and will always acknowledge them openly.
