About Stockholm News Desk

Stockholm News Desk is an independent editorial project that writes about Stockholm and Sweden in English. The site serves two main audiences: people who follow Swedish stories from the 2008–2015 period, and people planning to visit or move to Stockholm.

The Archive section revisits events from that period that were widely cited at the time. Each piece describes what was reported, gives the date, and follows the story to the present using sources that exist today. Courts, government agencies, statistical bodies and named media outlets support the follow-up. Titles usually follow the pattern “Event (year): what happened next” so the historical nature is clear.

The Living in Stockholm section is a practical city guide. It covers public transport on the SL network, neighbourhoods such as Gamla stan and Södermalm, typical prices in SEK, and everyday tasks such as registering with the Swedish Tax Agency. Prices and opening times are tied to dated sources, and readers are told to check SL or the venue’s own page before travelling.

The desk does not publish breaking news or a daily news feed. It does not claim to be the newsroom that previously used this domain, and archive pieces are not presented as current reports. When a topic touches visas, taxes or health, the site summarises the official guidance and refers readers to Migrationsverket, Skatteverket or 1177.

How the desk researches

The desk prefers primary sources that readers can check for themselves. Government pages, court documents, statistical releases and named news reports support most factual claims. Dates belong to the information being described, not to the date of publication, unless stated otherwise.

When a source is not recent, the text says so once and points to an official page for current details. The desk does not fill gaps with invented quotes or unattributed claims.

How errors are corrected

If a reader finds an error, the desk reviews the claim against the source and corrects the page. The correction is noted so readers can see what changed. Comments are closed across the site, so corrections and tips should be sent through the contact page.

Independence

Stockholm News Desk is an independent editorial project. It is not affiliated with organisations that have similar names, nor with anyone who used the domain before.
