If you are looking for trustworthy, independent coverage of Swedish news and explainers, you have come to the right place. Sonderbriefing (sonderbriefing.de) is an independent digital news publisher based in Sweden, owned by Sonderbriefi Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar. Our mission is to deliver clear, practical journalism about Swedish politics, the economy, culture and society for readers in Sweden and internationally — without spin or oversimplification.
What this means for you
This page tells you who we are, what we cover-les and how we work. You can use it to understand our editorial values, our ownership and our commitment to transparency. Every article you read is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. If you ever have a question about our journalism, a correction or a complaint, you will find the right contact details and policies here.
What we cover
Swedish news from the Riksdag to the local kommun — and the stories that matter to people living in or following Sweden. We report on politik (government, legislation, elections), wirtschaft and economy (markets, household finances, business), culture (arts, lifestyle, heritage), society (education, healthcare, immigration) and current affairs (the issues shaping daily life). Our coverage is designed for readers in Sweden and abroad who want depth without jargon.
How we work
Every piece starts with a named writer from our team. The draft is then reviewed by an editor and goes through fact-checking before publication. We use AI-assisted tools only for research, editing, formatting or translation — never to create quotes, sources or bylines. All published content is approved by a human editor. You can read our full editorial standards and fact-checking procedures on our Editorial Policy and Fact‑Checking Policy pages.
How this works in practice
Take a story about a new Swedish government budget. Our politics editor, Sebastian Roth, interviews economists and reads the budget documents. He drafts the article, which is then reviewed by the Redaktionschef, Sarah Fuchs, for clarity and fairness. The fact-checking team, led by Laura Arnold, verifies every figure and quotation against official sources. Only after that process does the article go live — with the writer’s name on it and a note that it has been fact‑checked. If a reader spots an error, our corrections policy ensures it is corrected transparently.
Who is responsible
The person ultimately responsible for all editorial content is Tim Zimmermann, Chefredaktör (editor-in-chief). He oversees editorial standards, publication decisions and corrections. Sarah Fuchs, Redaktionschef (head of newsroom), manages the daily newsroom, headline review and commissioning. Our full team — including specialists in politics, economics, culture and fact‑checking — is listed on our Our Team page with direct contact details.
