This article is about the online news portal. For the British convenience store, see First Quench Retailing.
The Local is an English-language online "news" portal localised for Sweden and Germany. The German and Swedish sites, while alike in appearance, have separate editorial teams, each focused on its respective market.[1]
Coverage is purely domestic in each country, and includes current events, politics, economy, sports and culture, as well as analysis and opinion. There are also guides to Swedish and German society aimed at English-speaking foreigners, a who's who of local celebrities and a discussion forum
The original Swedish edition began in 2004. The German edition was launched in 2008.
