This collection was expanded and checked on 7 October 2026 using Swedish and multilingual web searches, Google News, Sveriges Radio's search archive, SVT Play, TV4's topic archive, the National Library of Sweden's Svenska tidningar service, newspapers' own archives and sources cited in articles. Archive hits without verified article content are excluded. Each entry counts as one publication. The same story may appear in several outlets, including translations and agency material from AFP, TT and dpa. Identical URLs and alternative links to the same TV item are counted only once. International media also includes English-language news outlets covering Sweden. Press releases published by external media are included and labelled. Partner articles and project pages are included in the lists and publication count and labelled as partner publications; the project's own news is excluded. For paywalled articles, the headline, date and introduction have been checked. This is a verified selection, not comprehensive media monitoring. Broadcasters' audience and listener figures are not included. Headlines are translated for this English version; linked sources retain their original language.
