Siljan News is a local media company aiming to be the primary news source for people living in the Swedish region of Dalarna. Siljan News has a "politically independent newsroom and always strives to be impartial and objective in its news reporting".
Before the media organisation was launched in 2017, the sparsely populated towns and cities of Dalarma were largely overlooked due to the centralisation of most Swedish media organisations.
"Regional media downsized their presence in these communities," the co-founder and CEO Thorbjörn Carlsson says. "We wanted to move in the opposite direction: to decentralise and therefore be closer to our readership."
If nobody covers the region you live in, Carlsson said, "you start to think you and your community are unimportant". Siljan News has different websites for each municipality they cover. These are: Gagnef, Orsa, Mora, Rättvik, Säter, Leksund, Älvdalen, Vansbro, and Malung-Sälen.
