Who owns and operates Pressesicht?
Pressesicht is owned and operated by Pressesicht Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009), with its registered office at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. The publication was founded in 2024 and operates as an independent Swedish digital news publisher delivering coverage in German for readers in Sweden and internationally.
The company maintains editorial independence through a clear separation of commercial and editorial functions. Chefredaktör Matthias Winter holds ultimate responsibility for editorial standards, publication decisions and corrections. Further details on the ownership structure and funding model are available on our ownership and funding page.
What funding sources does Pressesicht use?
Pressesicht is funded through display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships and content licensing. All commercial material is clearly labelled as such, and affiliate links are disclosed within or adjacent to the relevant content.
These revenue streams allow us to provide trustworthy Swedish journalism without charging readers. No funding source — whether advertising, sponsored content or affiliate commission — determines editorial conclusions. Our full policy on sponsored content is detailed in the sponsored content policy.
How does Pressesicht use affiliate links?
When a reader follows an affiliate link on Pressesicht and makes a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to the reader. These links are used transparently, and their presence is clearly indicated — for example, through phrases such as “affiliate link” or “commission may be earned”.
Affiliate links help fund our journalism and are never placed in exchange for positive coverage or to influence editorial content. Editorial staff have no stake in affiliate revenue, and the decision to include a link is based solely on editorial relevance. Readers can learn more about our overall approach in the About Us section.
How does Pressesicht protect editorial independence from advertisers?
Commercial relationships — including advertising, sponsorship and affiliate arrangements — never determine editorial conclusions or story selection. This principle is embedded in Pressesicht’s editorial policy and enforced by Chefredaktör Matthias Winter and the entire editorial team.
Advertisers and partners have no influence over news coverage, analysis or fact-checking. All sponsored content is labelled as such and produced under the same editorial standards. Any attempt to exert commercial pressure on editorial decisions is rejected. The editorial policy provides further detail on how independence is maintained.
