Uusi Suomi (Finnish for The New Finland) was a Finnish daily newspaper that was published from 1919 to 1991. The headquarters was in Helsinki, Finland.[1]

History and profile

Uusi Suomi was established in 1919 as a continuation of two earlier newspapers, Suometar (1847–1866) and Uusi Suometar (1869–1919).

Two of its contributors, Linda Pylkkänen and Risto Sihtola, visited Italy in the late 1930s as a guest of the

Fascist government, and the paper was asked by the Italians to publish articles in favor of the Fascist rule.[3] During the Cold War period Uusi Suomi was among the Finnish newspapers which were accused by the Soviet Union of being the instrument of US propaganda, and the Soviet Embassy in Helsinki frequently protested the editors of the paper.[4]

From its foundation in 1919 to 1976 Uusi Suomi was the official newspaper of the conservative Finnish

conservative
outlook.

In 1958 Uusi Suomi purchased the financial newspaper Kauppalehti.[2]

Towards the end of the 1980s Uusi Suomi was acquired by the newspaper Aamulehti.[2] However, the former was struggling with financial difficulties, ultimately leading to its demise.[2]

Uusi Suomi was published in

broadsheet format.[2] The paper was owned by the Alma Media[6] which acquired it in 1991.[7]

The last issue of Uusi Suomi was published on 29 November 1991.[8] The Finnish tabloid Iltalehti, which can be considered Uusi Suomi's spiritual successor, began publication in 1980 as the afternoon edition of Uusi Suomi.

On 25 May 2007 it was announced that the Finnish company Nikotiimi had purchased the rights to the title Uusi Suomi from Alma Media. It started an online newspaper bearing that title in the fall of 2007.[9] In 2010 it was the twenty-seventh most visited website in Finland, being visited by 204,722 people per week.[10]
