Nyhetsbyrån Järva is a local newsroom focused on engaging closely with people who are part of one specific demographic. The site was launched in 2018 to report on the Järva suburb in northern Stockholm, by Editor-in-Chief Kerstin Gustafsson Figueroa and co-founding journalist Yasemin Öztenar.
The local online news site aims to provide balanced coverage of the area, not shying away from the problems but not restricting coverage to these, and also focusing on culture and sports.
Nyhetsbyrån Järva has run courses to train Järva locals in local journalism, and 13 of the 15 participants in the first course have since been published in the paper.
