Public and media relations can be a powerful strategy in telling our story — under the right circumstances. Click here to view our Media Relations Policy.

In general, media outlets typically evaluate story ideas based on criteria that include timeliness, significance, proximity, prominence, uniqueness and exclusivity. Please know requests are prioritized due to limited resources. Also, PR requests may be better served or supplemented through Swedish-owned communications channels such as the Swedish blog, intranet, website, Core Leader News, We Swedish or social media.
