Tiedotuksia

Tiedotuksia is a Finnish term referring to announcements or notices produced to inform a specific audience about matters of interest. The concept is used by a variety of organizations, including government agencies, municipalities, companies, schools, and associations, to share information with employees, residents, customers, or the general public. The word derives from the verb tiedottaa (to inform) and the noun tieto (knowledge), with tiedotus meaning information dissemination and tiedotukset referring to multiple such notices.

Typically tiedotuksia include a headline, a date, a concise summary, a more detailed explanation, and contact information for further inquiries. They may be issued as press releases (tiedotteet), newsletters, intranet posts, bulletin board notices, or social media updates. The choice of channel depends on the target audience and the urgency of the information.

In Finnish media and public administration, tiedotukset play a central role in transparency and timely communication. They are distinct from related concepts such as ilmoitus (notice or advertisement) and from individual press releases (tiedote). A single announcement may generate multiple tiedotuksia over time as information evolves.

Examples of use include a city issuing tiedotuksia about road work schedules, a university sending tiedotuksia to students about examination dates, or a company publishing tiedotuksia about product recalls or changes in services. The term emphasizes ongoing information dissemination rather than a one-off statement.
