Heimildin

Heimildin is an independent Icelandic digital media outlet dedicated to investigative journalism, in-depth reporting, and public-interest analysis. Founded in 2021 through the merger of Stundin and Kjarninn, Heimildin was created to strengthen Iceland’s independent media landscape, combining the editorial expertise and investigative experience of both predecessors. The newsroom focuses on politics, government accountability, financial transparency, corporate oversight, and societal issues. Its journalists produce investigative reports, longform stories, and analytical articles that uncover corruption, highlight systemic challenges, and provide Icelandic citizens with clear, evidence-based information on issues that impact public life. Heimildin emphasizes transparency and civic engagement. It combines traditional reporting with digital storytelling tools, including multimedia investigations and interactive content, enabling readers to explore complex topics and understand how decisions and policies affect society. Funded through subscriptions and reader contributions, Heimildin maintains editorial independence, free from advertising and political pressures. This model allows the outlet to pursue time-intensive investigations, deliver reliable reporting, and foster a well-informed public in Iceland.
