Kuvalehti

Kuvalehti is a Finnish weekly magazine focused on current events, politics, and culture, with an emphasis on investigative journalism and in-depth reporting. Published by Sanoma Media Finland, it has been a prominent voice in Finnish media since its founding in 1945. Originally named *Kansan Uutiset* ("People's News"), it later adopted its current name in 1950 to reflect its growing role as a visual and analytical publication.

The magazine is known for its critical approach to power structures, often scrutinizing government policies, corporate practices, and societal issues. Kuvalehti has played a significant role in exposing scandals, corruption, and public controversies, earning a reputation for fearless journalism. Its investigative reports have contributed to public debates and, in some cases, influenced policy changes.

Kuvalehti features a mix of news articles, opinion pieces, and analytical essays, supplemented by photography and illustrations. While it maintains a broad readership, its content is particularly influential among politically engaged Finns. The magazine has faced challenges over the years, including financial struggles and shifts in media consumption, but it remains a respected platform for serious discussion.

In addition to its print edition, Kuvalehti has adapted to digital platforms, offering online articles and multimedia content. It continues to be a key source for those seeking informed perspectives on Finnish and international affairs. The publication’s legacy reflects its commitment to independent journalism and public accountability.
