    Hello all readers 🙂

    There seems to be a lot of interest and divided opinions about what TT stands for, whether it is “Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå” or “TT Nyhetsbyrån”.

    So we clear it up once and for all.

    This is how TT writes on its website.

    “Our independent news agency saw the light of day under the name Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå in 1921. Today we are called TT Nyhetsbyrån and we make news that is read by almost all of Sweden”
