Who we are
Årebladet is a small independent newspaper based in Åre, in northern Sweden. This coverage is run by Pär Boman, the responsible publisher and only employee (sometimes I write "we" instead of "I" because it gets weirdly self-referential otherwise, but it's just me doing this, even if I get help here and there). AI-assisted tools are used during the process and to build this website, but every factual claim that gets published is checked, and every word the editor edits has been written by a human. We do not use synthetic voices and we do not publish generated quotes.
Where the money comes from
Årebladet AB is owned and run solely by Pär Boman. The work is funded by advertising, mainly in the printed edition, and by the sister operations Pärception, PartyPär and ÅrebladetLive. When an article touches on an advertiser (which is rare), we say so in the article.
Send us a tip
Get in touch if you work, or have worked, in prospecting, regional planning or anything else that could be relevant to our coverage. We treat every tip in confidence. Use info@arebladet.se for first contact. Say whether you want an encrypted channel (Signal, PGP, ProtonMail) and we'll come back with details.
What we don't do
- We do not publish personal identity numbers (personnummer), home addresses or direct phone numbers. Company officers are named in their official capacity; case handlers who are just doing their jobs are not named. We redact parts of the documents we obtain accordingly.
- We do not publish speculation we can't back up with a source. If something is uncertain, we say so.
- We don't make silent edits. Every correction shows up in the public changelog (currently maintained in Swedish).
How we work
Our methodology is documented on a separate page: Methodology. It sets out which registers we use and how an article actually gets put together.
Right of reply
Companies and individuals named in a significant role in an investigation are always given the chance to respond before publication, normally with at least two working days' notice. When we haven't received a reply, the article says so. Responses after publication are accepted in writing and published on the article's changelog page alongside our own comment, if any.
