Independent news, held to one standard
Saltonstall Media is an independent news publisher. We own and run national news titles, each written in the language of its readers and edited for the country it serves. Every one of them works to the same published standards, so a reader in Copenhagen, Stockholm or Helsinki can expect the same care with facts, the same openness about sources and the same willingness to correct a mistake.

Each title has its own editorial desk and sets its own priorities, guided by what matters to readers in its country. Together they cover the news of the day: politics and public life, crime and the courts, business and personal finance, health, consumer affairs, sport and entertainment. More on every title, including the sections it publishes, is on the Publications page.
What we stand for
News is only worth reading if it can be trusted. That trust is earned one article at a time, and it is lost the same way. It is why our standards are written down and published here, where anyone can read them and hold us to them.
Facts are checked before they are published. Sources are named wherever that is possible, and every article tells the reader what it is based on. A story that criticises someone carries their side of it. Headlines say what the article can support and no more. When we get something wrong, we correct it in the open, with a note that says what changed and when.
How we are organised
Saltonstall Media is the publisher. It owns the titles, sets the standards they work to and stands behind what they publish. The journalism itself is made at each title, by an editorial desk that knows its country, its institutions and its readers.
The standards on this site are the master versions. Each publication carries its own editorial policy, corrections policy and contact details in its own language, and those pages follow the standards set out here. Where the press ethics code of a country asks more of a title than our own standards do, the national code applies.
Independence
Editorial decisions belong to the editorial desk of each publication. No advertiser, partner or outside interest decides what we cover or how we cover it. No one outside the newsroom sees a story before it is published, and no one can have a story changed or removed because it is inconvenient to them.
Everything our titles publish is free to read. They are funded by advertising, which is always labelled and kept apart from journalism. How ownership and funding work is set out on the ownership and funding page.
