When you access Gegenwart24, you receive a limited, non-transferable license to view and read our articles for personal, non-commercial use. You may share links and short excerpts for private discussion, but republication or distribution of full articles requires our written permission.
You may download or print individual pages for personal reference, provided you keep all copyright notices intact.

How this works in practice
Suppose you read an article on Gegenwart24 about Swedish economic policy and want to share a key insight with colleagues. You may copy a short excerpt — a sentence or two — and share it in an internal email or on a professional social network, as long as you credit Gegenwart24 and include a link back to the original article. You must not republish the full article on your company intranet or post it behind a paywall without a licensing agreement. If you wish to use the article for training materials, internal newsletters, or any commercial purpose, you need to contact our partnerships team first.
This principle applies across all our content: our journalism is produced with care and investment, and we ask you to respect that by using it responsibly.
