Haastattelurunkoja

Haastattelurunkoja is a term originating from Finnish journalistic practices. It refers to the financial means provided to interviewees or individuals being interviewed for articles, often to compensate them for their time, expertise, or other contributions.

In some cases, haastattelurunkoja may be necessary to ensure that the individual being interviewed has an interest in participating, especially if the interview requires a significant amount of time, travel, or other expenses. This practice helps to guarantee the respondent's cooperation and availability for the interview.

Publishers and media outlets providing haastattelurunkoja may use various forms, such as monetary allowances, pre-paid expenses, or even gift vouchers. The specific way this financial support is offered can vary greatly.

Receiving haastattelurunkoja is commonplace among journalists and media producers, although its commonality may depend on the cultural context and applicable journalistic standards or policies of the recipient media outlets. Press coverage in one place might need haastattelurunkoja, but in another place, it might be completely unnecessary or even discouraged.

In either case, the objective remains the same - securing a valid source for information. It is assumed that notifying interviewees or individuals in preface has or may opt out, however receiving haastattelurunkoja does not compromise these shortly involved parties' rights or values but ultimately leaves entry available.
