Every article is written with the aim of helping readers understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification. Our tagline, „Nachrichten, Analysen und Hintergründe für Deutschland,“ reflects our commitment to serving German-speaking audiences with trustworthy Swedish journalism.
How does our editorial process work?
Every article published on Wochenbriefing is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. AI-assisted tools may support research or drafting but never replace human editorial judgement; every piece is approved by a human editor. AI must never fabricate quotes, sources, interviews, bylines, author experience or expert profiles. For a full explanation of our editorial standards, please see our Editorial Policy page. Detailed information about our fact-checking procedures is available on our Fact-Checking Policy page.
Our newsroom is structured to ensure accountability at every stage. Felix Jung serves as Politikredaktör, covering the riksdag, government and municipal politics. Petra Schuster is Wirtschaftreporter, focusing on economy, markets and household finance. Andreas Sommer is Kultur- och samhällsredaktör, responsible for culture, lifestyle and society. Vanessa Engels is Ansvarig för faktagranskning, handling all fact-checking, source verification and corrections. Each journalist is contactable via email addresses listed on our Our Team page.
How do we ensure commercial transparency?

All sponsored or commercial material is clearly labelled as such, and affiliate links are disclosed to readers. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions.

Our core editorial mission — trustworthy Swedish journalism — remains independent from any commercial interests. We do not accept payment for coverage, and advertisers have no influence over editorial content. Our full funding model is explained on the Ownership and Funding page.
