The seedy-looking bureau has its own printing press, and a poster outside of a front page, which among other stories, includes one informing readers on “how to avoid Christmas’s many traps” (illustrated with a mouse trap).
“We’ve made an editorial office and printing press,” the street-art collective Anonymouse wrote on the Instagram account, posting an image of the office, which is viewable at mouse-level on Nikalaigatan near Malmö’s Triangeln station.
“Freedom of the press is important, even in tiny democracies, and Lindenkronans newshawks have sharpened their pens, kept their ears to the ground and are lifting every pebble in search for a scoop.”
They are also presumably digging up the dirt on city dignitaries and celebrities.

Anonymouse have won worldwide coverage for their intricate, witty street-art modelling, starting in 2016 when Noix de Vie, a mouse-sized café bistro opened its doors in Malmö, with the collective going on to build and release a bookshop, a funfair, a caravan, and a hipster barber, before launching its crowning glory, an interactive crime mystery.

The mystery, which participants could seek to solve if they emailed an address on mouse-sized posters, featured recorded mouse messages, four locations (three of whom featured new mouse establishments), two maps, and two newspaper front pages.
It also marked the first appearance for the Folkbladet Lindenkronan, whose dogged reporters made the theft of the cheese owned by the suspiciously feline-looking mayor Felix C. Atus’s cheese front page news.
