Tageslage’s journalism is built on a clear set of sourcing principles and editorial checks that apply to every article we publish. Whether covering Swedish politics, economic developments or cultural stories, our reporters and editors follow documented standards for verification, attribution and transparency. This page explains what those standards are and how readers can hold us to them.
What sources do we rely on day to day?
Our daily reporting draws on primary sources including official government documents, parliamentary records, court rulings, regulatory announcements and direct interviews with named individuals. We also use reputable secondary sources such as established Swedish and international news agencies, academic research and industry reports, always with clear attribution.
We prioritise documents and data published by Swedish public authorities such as the Riksdag, government ministries, the Riksbank, Statistics Sweden (SCB) and the Swedish Media Council. For political coverage, Politikredaktör Tobias Graf and the newsroom monitor Riksdag proceedings, committee reports and public hearings. Wirtschaftreporter Caroline Arnold uses official economic indicators, central bank statements and company filings. When we cite anonymous sources, we do so only when the information is of clear public interest, the source’s identity is known to the editor, and we explain why anonymity is granted. Our full editorial approach to sourcing is documented in our editorial policy.
How can you challenge our reporting?
If you believe an article contains an error, omits important context or relies on questionable sources, you can submit a challenge by emailing our fact-checking team directly at factcheck@tageslage.de or through our complaints procedure. The team, led by Sophie Lehmann, Ansvarig för faktagranskning, reviews every substantiated challenge and responds within five working days.
When we confirm a factual error, we correct it promptly and add a correction note at the bottom of the article explaining precisely what changed and why. For more significant issues we publish a separate correction notice or, if warranted, retract the article entirely. Our corrections policy outlines the full process. We also welcome challenges about sourcing decisions, editorial framing or missing perspectives. Every submission is logged and reviewed with the same rigour as our original reporting.
What you can expect from us
Readers can expect every article on tageslage.de to be based on verifiable sources, reviewed by a named editor and fact-checked before publication. Our journalists are required to disclose conflicts of interest and to seek comment from relevant parties before publishing critical coverage. Sponsored or commercially influenced content is always clearly labelled, and our commercial relationships never dictate editorial conclusions.
Our ownership and funding structure is disclosed in full on our ownership and funding page, and our policies on advertising, affiliate links and sponsored content are detailed in our advertising and affiliate disclosure. Any use of AI-assisted tools in research or drafting is governed by our AI and automation policy, which requires human editorial approval for all published content.
Who is responsible for what we publish?
Chefredaktör Maximilian Roth (anders.lindqvist@tageslage.de) holds overall responsibility for editorial standards, publication decisions and corrections at Tageslage. He is supported by Redaktionschef Lisa Schumacher, who oversees the daily newsroom, headline review and commissioning. Each section has a dedicated editor with subject-matter expertise: Tobias Graf for politics, Caroline Arnold for economy, Philipp Klein for culture and society, and Sophie Lehmann for fact-checking and source verification.
Every article carries a named writer and a reviewing editor. The newsroom operates out of Sweden, and our editorial team members are reachable via the contact details listed on our team page. Our contact page provides direct email addresses for each department.
How do we handle mistakes?
When an error is confirmed, we correct the article and append a clear correction notice stating what was wrong, when the change was made and whether any reader was materially misled. For errors that affect the overall understanding of a story, we publish a separate correction note on the article page and, where warranted, a notice on our corrections policy page.
Readers who spot mistakes can email corrections@tageslage.de directly or use our fact-checking contact at factcheck@tageslage.de. Our fact-checking team logs every correction to identify recurring issues and improve our editorial processes. We treat correction requests as a core part of our accountability to readers.
