History and profile
Uusi Suomi was established in 1919 and the paper was the continuation of the earlier Finnish newspapers Suometar (1847–1866) and Uusi Suometar (1869–1919).[1] The first Suometar newspaper was primarily concerned with pursuing issues and concerns relating to the Finnish population; its successor Uusi Suometar represented closely related Fennoman views.
From its foundation in 1919 to 1976, Uusi Suomi was the official newspaper of the conservative Finnish National Coalition Party,[1][2] and independently conservative after 1976.
In 1958 Uusi Suomi purchased financial newspaper Kauppalehti.[1] Towards the end of the 1980s Uusi Suomi was acquired by the newspaper Aamulehti.[1] However, the former was struggling with financial difficulties, ultimately leading to its demise.[1]
Uusi Suomi was published in broadsheet format.[1] The paper was owned by the Alma Media[3] which acquired it in 1991.[4]
The last edition of Uusi Suomi was published on 29 November 1991.[5] The Finnish tabloid Iltalehti can be considered Uusi Suomi's spiritual successor; Iltalehti 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 name "Uusi Suomi" from Alma Media and would start an online newspaper bearing that name in the fall of 2007.[6] In 2010 it was the twenty-seventh most visited website in Finland in 2010 and was visited by 204,722 people per week.[7]
