Who is responsible for the tips we receive?
Sachindex (sachindex.de) is owned by Sachindex Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry), with registered office at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. Editorial responsibility rests with Chefredaktör Daniel Winter, who oversees all tip handling and publication decisions.
The newsroom operates under the editorial leadership of Daniel Winter (anders.lindqvist@sachindex.de, +46 8 525 030 61), who sets the standards for how tips are evaluated, verified and published. Our ownership and funding model is transparently documented at /ownership-funding/, and our full editorial team is listed at /our-team/. This structure ensures accountability at every stage, from initial tip receipt to final publication.
What makes a good tip for Sachindex?
A good tip for Sachindex involves Swedish policy developments, Riksdagen or regeringen decisions, municipal politik, wirtschaft news, economic trends, cultural stories or societal issues with clear public-interest relevance. We prioritise information that helps readers understand complex Swedish affairs without spin or oversimplification.
Strong tips include documentation, internal records, meeting notes, draft legislation, correspondence or first-hand accounts that shed light on how Swedish institutions operate. We are particularly interested in stories that reveal gaps between official policy and on-the-ground reality, whether in national government, local kommuner or the private sector. Tips about economic indicators, market developments, household finances and cultural policy are also valuable. Every suggestion is assessed against our editorial mission: trustworthy journalism that clarifies rather than distorts.
How should you send us a tip?
Send tips to tips@sachindex.de, newsdesk@sachindex.de or press@sachindex.de. Include as much detail as possible: the core information, your connection to the story, any supporting documents or sources, and a secure way to contact you if follow-up is needed.
For sensitive material, we encourage you to provide context about why the information matters and whether you have direct knowledge of the events described. If you are a current or former employee of an organisation, indicating your role — without revealing your identity if you wish to remain anonymous — helps us assess credibility. You can also reach individual editors via their contact details on our /about-us/contact/ page. We treat all submissions with discretion.
How do we verify tips and protect sources?
Tips are verified by our fact-checking desk led by Christina Jung (emma.sandberg@sachindex.de, +46 8 525 030 66), who cross-references information against primary sources, public records and independent corroboration. We follow strict procedures documented at /fact-checking-policy/ and /sources/.
Christina Jung leads Ansvarig för faktagranskning and oversees source verification, document authentication and correction requests. We never publish a tip without independent confirmation of its key claims. Confidentiality is a core principle: we protect the identity of sources who request anonymity, subject to our editorial policy at /editorial-policy/. We do not reveal source identities to third parties without explicit consent or legal compulsion. If you wish to remain anonymous, please state this clearly in your submission.
What happens after you submit a tip?
After submission, your tip is logged and reviewed by the newsdesk. The relevant editor assesses its news value, public-interest angle and verifiability. If the tip warrants further investigation, an editor or reporter will contact you using the details you provided.
We aim to acknowledge receipt within two working days, though high volumes may delay this. Not every tip leads to publication; we may archive information for future use or pass it to a more suitable department. You will not receive automated responses — each submission is read by a human editor. If we decide to pursue a story, we will keep you informed of progress where appropriate and possible.
What if you need to report an error in a published story?
If you spot an error in a published story, please send details to corrections@sachindex.de. Include the article URL, the specific error, the correct information and your source for the correction. Our corrections policy at /corrections-policy/ governs how we handle such requests.
The fact-checking desk, led by Christina Jung, reviews all correction requests promptly. We issue corrections, clarifications or retractions as warranted and update the article with a visible note. Sachindex is committed to accuracy and transparency in all published content.
