Who owns Hauptreport?
Hauptreport is owned and operated by Nordklar Media Ltd, a private company registered in Gibraltar under number C 92009 and listed on the Malta Business Registry. Its registered office is at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. The company was founded in 2024 and operates the Swedish digital news publisher hauptreport.de independently, without shareholder interference in editorial decisions. Ownership structure is transparent: Nordklar Media Ltd holds all assets and is the sole legal entity behind the publication. Neither the company nor its directors have ties to political parties, governments, or lobbying organisations in Sweden, Germany, or elsewhere. Any future changes in ownership will be disclosed publicly on this page.
How is Hauptreport funded?
Hauptreport is funded through a mix of display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships, and content licensing. No single revenue stream dominates, and the publication does not rely on government subsidies, political grants, or philanthropic foundations. All sponsored or commercial material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent journalism. Affiliate links are disclosed in every article that contains them, and commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions. The editorial team operates separately from the business team, and no advertiser or partner has the right to preview, approve, or veto editorial content. Revenue details are reviewed quarterly by the managing director, and a summary of funding sources is available on request via info@hauptreport.de.
What you can expect from us
You can expect that every article published on Hauptreport is the result of independent editorial judgement, free from commercial or political influence. The newsroom decides what to cover, how to cover it, and when to publish, without input from advertisers, partners, or company owners. Our editorial policy sets out the standards that guide every story: accuracy, fairness, transparency, and accountability. We correct errors promptly and visibly, and our corrections policy explains how to request a fix. Fact-checking is central to our workflow; every article is reviewed by a dedicated fact-checker before publication, and our fact-checking policy details the process. We also publish a Sources & Standards page that explains how we gather, verify, and attribute information. If you see something that doesn’t meet those standards, we want to hear about it.
Who is responsible for what we publish?
Michael Schulte, as Chefredaktör (editor-in-chief), is ultimately accountable for all editorial content, publication decisions, and corrections at Hauptreport. He reports directly to the board of Nordklar Media Ltd, which has no role in day-to-day editorial operations. The editorial team includes Jessica Wolff (Redaktionschef), who manages the daily newsroom and headline review; Tim Wolf (Politikredaktör), who covers national and local politics; Sarah Huber (Wirtschaftreporter), who handles economy and markets; Sebastian Frank (Kultur- och samhällsredaktör), who oversees culture and society coverage; and Melanie Winter, who leads fact-checking and source verification. Each named writer is responsible for the accuracy of their own articles, and every piece is reviewed by an editor before publication. Full biographies and contact details for the team are on our Our Team page.
How can I advertise with Hauptreport?
Advertising and partnership enquiries should be sent to advertising@hauptreport.de, where the commercial team will provide a media kit and discuss available formats. Hauptreport accepts display ads, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships, and affiliate collaborations, all of which are clearly labelled in accordance with our advertising and affiliate disclosure policy. The commercial team operates separately from the newsroom, and no advertiser can influence editorial content or placement. Rates are based on reach, format, and duration, and all campaigns are subject to a standard terms-of-service agreement. We do not accept advertising from political parties, tobacco products, or entities that conflict with our editorial values. For sponsored content proposals, please include a brief description of the campaign and your preferred timeline.
