Publika

Publika is a Finnish public broadcasting company that operates under the umbrella of the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (Yleisradio). Established in 1955, Publika serves as the national public service broadcaster, providing a wide range of programming to the Finnish population. Its primary mission is to deliver high-quality, diverse, and culturally significant content that informs, educates, and entertains audiences across various media platforms, including television, radio, digital services, and mobile applications.

Publika is funded through a combination of public subscriptions, government grants, and advertising revenue. The organization is governed by a board of directors appointed by the Finnish Parliament, ensuring its independence and impartiality in its programming. The broadcaster is responsible for producing and distributing news, current affairs, documentaries, children’s programming, sports coverage, music, and cultural events, reflecting Finland’s multicultural society and global interests.

In addition to its domestic operations, Publika plays a key role in international broadcasting, collaborating with other public service broadcasters and participating in global media initiatives. Its digital services, such as Yle Areena, offer on-demand access to archived content, further expanding its reach. Publika also engages in public service journalism, addressing social issues, education, and community development through its various channels.
