What makes a good tip for Sachspur?
A good tip is one that has clear Swedish relevance and serves the public interest. We look for policy developments, legislative changes in the Riksdagen, executive actions from the government, municipal politics across Sweden, Wirtschaft and economic trends, cultural shifts, and societal issues that affect everyday life. Stories that expose wrongdoing, inefficiency, or systemic problems are especially valuable. We also cover culture and society with a Swedish angle, so tips on local traditions, immigration, education, and environmental policy are welcome. A good tip is specific, verifiable, and backed by documents, data, or first-hand accounts. If you have a lead that fits these categories, we want to hear from you.
How can you send a tip to Sachspur?
You can reach us directly by email. Use tips@sachspur.de for news tips and story ideas. For general newsroom inquiries, write to newsdesk@sachspur.de. If your tip involves a matter of public relations or a press release, send it to press@sachspur.de. For all other correspondence, including corrections and complaints, please see the specific email addresses listed on our contact page.
What information should you include in your tip?
Please provide as much detail as possible. Include the core facts, dates, locations, and names of relevant individuals or organisations. Attach supporting documents, screenshots, emails, internal records, or any other evidence that helps us assess the story. If you are a source with direct knowledge, tell us your role and how you know the information. Your contact details are helpful for follow-up questions, but you can also submit a tip anonymously. The more concrete your submission, the faster we can evaluate it.
How does Sachspur verify the information in a tip?
All tips are reviewed by our standards desk, which is led by Vanessa Frank, the head of fact-checking. We cross-check every claim against primary sources, official records, and independent witnesses. Our verification process follows the guidelines in our fact-checking policy and our sources and standards policy. If we cannot corroborate a tip with sufficient evidence, we will not publish it. We never fabricate quotes, sources, or interviews, and we require human editorial approval for every article, even when AI-assisted tools are used for research or drafting.
Is my identity kept confidential if I submit a tip?
Yes, we treat all sources with the utmost discretion. You can submit a tip anonymously using the email addresses above, and you are not required to give your real name. If you choose to remain anonymous, we will protect your identity to the fullest extent possible under Swedish and international law. Our editorial team understands the importance of source protection, and we will not disclose your information without your explicit consent unless compelled by a legal order. For more details on how we handle personal data, please see our privacy policy.
What happens after you submit a tip to Sachspur?
Once your tip arrives, it is logged and assigned to the relevant editor based on the topic. The editorial team will assess its newsworthiness, verify the facts, and determine whether it fits our coverage areas. If we need more information, we may contact you using the details you provided. We aim to respond within five working days, but high-volume periods may delay that. If your tip leads to a published story, we will credit you only with your permission. You can track our editorial standards and complaint procedures on our editorial policy page.
How can I report an error in a published article?
If you believe an article contains a factual error, please write to corrections@sachspur.de with the article URL, a clear description of the mistake, and your source for the correct information. Our standards desk, led by Vanessa Frank, will review the claim and, if verified, issue a correction in accordance with our corrections policy. We take accuracy seriously and will correct errors promptly and transparently.
