Wochenfokus (wochenfokus.de) is an independent Swedish digital news publisher that delivers clear, practical coverage of Swedish news, politics, economy, culture and current affairs for readers in Sweden and internationally. Founded in 2024, we are owned and operated by Donau Media OÜ, a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number 16928471, Estonian Business Register). Our registered office is at Tornimäe 5, Kesklinn, Tallinn, 10145, and we can be reached by phone on +372 614 0280 or via our Swedish editorial line on +49 30 577 013 30. Our tagline, „Nachrichten, Analysen und Hintergründe für Deutschland,“ reflects our commitment to trustworthy Swedish journalism that helps readers understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification.
What do we cover?
We cover Swedish politics (riksdagen, regeringen, kommunpolitik), wirtschaft and economy (marknader, hushållsekonomi), culture (kultur, livsstil), society (samhälle) and current affairs in depth. Our reporting is designed to be accessible both to readers in Sweden who want clear analysis and to international audiences seeking reliable context on Swedish developments. Every article is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication to ensure accuracy and fairness.
How do we work?
Every piece of editorial content at Wochenfokus is produced through a rigorous process that prioritises human judgement. Articles are written by named journalists, reviewed by an experienced editor, and independently fact-checked before publication. We may use AI-assisted tools to support research, drafting, formatting, translation, metadata, headline options, summaries or transcription, but these tools never replace human editorial oversight. All published content is approved by a human editor, and we explicitly prohibit AI from fabricating quotes, sources, interviews, bylines, author experience or expert profiles. For full details, please see our editorial policy and fact-checking policy.
What you can expect from us
You can expect journalism that is concrete, trustworthy and free from spin. We do not oversimplify complex issues, and we clearly label sponsored or commercial material. Affiliate links are disclosed, and commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. Our team of named editors and reporters is committed to transparency about corrections, sources and funding. We welcome scrutiny and provide clear channels for feedback, complaints and corrections through our corrections policy and complaints procedure.
