Skicka underlaget till kommunens informationsavdelning.

Municipal communications provide information about municipal activities. This differs from independent newsroom scrutiny.

Skicka underlaget till en lokal partiförening.

A party branch can pursue the issue politically. It does not have the newsroom’s journalistic role.
