This page explains why Stadtlogik exists and what it means for you as a reader. It sets out the editorial philosophy, the team behind the work and the funding model that keeps the newsroom independent. You can use the links below to explore the full editorial structure, the correction process or the ownership file. The aim is simple: give you a clear, trustworthy source for Swedish news that puts context first and noise second.
Why we founded Stadtlogik — what gap did we see?
Stadtlogik Media Ltd. registered the domain stadtlogik.de in 2024 after identifying a persistent gap in Swedish news coverage for German-speaking readers. Existing outlets either rushed breaking news without context or buried important detail behind paywalls that favoured speed over clarity. The founding team wanted a digital publication that served readers in Sweden and internationally with practical, well-sourced reporting on Swedish politics, economy, culture and society. The tagline — “Nachrichten, Analysen und Hintergründe für Deutschland” — captures that ambition: news that helps you understand, not just scan.
Who runs the newsroom and what is the editorial philosophy?
Chefredaktör Simon Schwarz (anders.lindqvist@stadtlogik.de, +46 8 525 030 61) sets the editorial standards and makes final publication decisions. He leads a team that includes Katrin Kaiser as Redaktionschef (daily newsroom, headline review, commissioning), Jonas Winkler as Politikredaktör (covering the Riksdag, government and kommun-level politics), Eva Martin as Wirtschaftreporter (household finances, markets, economic policy), David Schreiber as Kultur- och samhällsredaktör (culture, lifestyle, society) and Daniela Sauer as Ansvarig för faktagranskning (fact-checking, source verification, corrections). Every piece is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. The editorial philosophy is straightforward: no spin, no oversimplification, no fabricated quotes. AI-assisted tools may support research or drafting but never replace human judgement — every article is approved by a human editor.
You can read full profiles of each editor on the /our-team/ page.
What can readers expect from every article?
Every story carries a clear byline, named sources and a visible editorial review trail. If a correction is needed, the site publishes a clear notice with a time-stamp and links the corrected version to the /corrections-policy/ page. The same page explains how readers can request a correction or challenge a fact. For source verification, the /sources/ page lists the criteria each reporter uses: primary documents, official data, named interviewees and independent verification before publication.
All sponsored or commercial material is clearly labelled. Affiliate links carry a disclosure, and commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. The /advertising-affiliate-disclosure/ policy explains exactly how that works.
How this works in practice
Take a recent story on Sweden’s housing market: the reporter interviewed two economists from separate banks, checked the official Statistikmyndigheten data, and ran the draft past a fact-checker before publication. The article names the sources, links to the raw data and includes a correction note at the bottom when a subsequent data revision appeared. That is the standard for every piece — no shortcuts, no anonymous quotes unless the source faces credible risk, and a clear trail back to the evidence.
