Vad Vi Vet (in English: What We Know) is an independent media outlet explaining the news, mainly on social media but also through podcasts and newsletters. The platform's focus is on politics, economics, and climate change. Vad Vi Vet's credo is: "We explain the news so you can learn something new every day. No opinions, no speculation, just what we know."
Vad Vi Vet's journalism is unbiased and independent, and all its articles are fact-checked.
The organisation started as the Instagram account Väljarskolan in June 2018, on which editor-in-chief Per Grankvist explained facts about Swedish politics. Vad Vi Vet is recognised as a pioneer in explanatory journalism in the Nordics.
Grankvist was nominated for Journalist of the Year 2021 "because, through commitment and unfailing sharpness, he spreads public-educating journalism in an increasingly complex world. Per Grankvist makes the difficult easy to understand but also gives weight to the easy. With Vad Vi Vet, trust in journalism is further increased".
Over 250,000 Swedes read Vad Vi Vet's explanations weekly, and this number rises to one million during eventful and newsworthy weeks.
