Politikpunkt (politikpunkt.de) is an independent Swedish digital news publisher owned and operated by Politikpunkt Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry). The editorial team is led by Chefredaktör Martin Krüger, who sets editorial standards and approves all publication decisions, and Redaktionschef Helena Peters, who manages the daily newsroom. Tips are directed to the relevant desk and assessed under the supervision of Ansvarig för faktagranskning Nina Wolff to ensure rigorous verification before any content is published.
What makes a good tip?
A good tip brings to light new, verifiable information of clear public interest, especially concerning policy developments, Riksdagen or Regeringen actions, municipal politics, Wirtschaft news, economic trends, culture, or social issues with Swedish relevance. We prioritise stories that reveal systemic problems, official misconduct, overlooked data, or emerging trends that affect readers in Sweden and internationally. Tips should be specific, supported by evidence where possible, and aligned with our editorial mission of trustworthy Swedish journalism that avoids spin or oversimplification.
How can I submit a tip, and what should I include?
You can submit tips via email to tips@politikpunkt.de, newsdesk@politikpunkt.de, or press@politikpunkt.de, depending on the nature of your information. For general story ideas or local reports, tips@ is best; for time-sensitive parliamentary or government leads, newsdesk@ ensures rapid routing; press releases go to press@. Include a clear description of the story, relevant documents or sources, and contact details if you are willing to be followed up. Providing specific dates, names, official references, and supporting material such as documents, links, or data significantly strengthens your tip.
How do we verify tips?
Our standards desk, led by Ansvarig för faktagranskning Nina Wolff, applies the same rigorous verification process to all tip-based stories as to any other editorial content. We cross-check sources, seek independent confirmation, and follow our published fact-checking policy and sources standards. Every tip that progresses to publication is reviewed by a human editor and must meet our editorial policy. We never publish unverified claims and may contact you for further details during verification.
Is my submission confidential, and what happens next?
Yes, we treat all tip submissions as confidential. We will not disclose your identity or contact details without your explicit consent, unless required by law. If you request anonymity, we take measures to protect your identity, including encrypted communications. After submission, your tip is logged and assigned to the appropriate desk for initial assessment. The editorial team, led by Redaktionschef Helena Peters, evaluates its newsworthiness and feasibility. We aim to acknowledge receipt within a few business days; complex tips may take longer. Not every tip leads to a story – we prioritise those that align with our editorial mission and verifiability.
How do I report a correction?
If you believe information in a published article is inaccurate, please email corrections@politikpunkt.de with details of the error and supporting evidence. Corrections are handled promptly and transparently in accordance with our corrections policy. For other complaints, see our complaints procedure.
