Toimittajatiedot

Toimittajatiedot is a term used in Finnish media to describe a section or page that provides information about the editorial staff and newsroom contacts. It is intended to identify who is responsible for the content, who readers can reach for inquiries, and how tips or corrections can be submitted. The information may appear on a dedicated “Toimittajatiedot” page or within the publication’s broader “Tietoja meistä” or “Yhteystiedot” areas.

Typical content of toimittajatiedot includes the names and job titles of editors and reporters (for example editor-in-chief, managing editor, section editors, and correspondents), areas of responsibility, and direct contact details such as work emails or contact forms. It may also provide the newsroom’s physical address, main telephone numbers, and links to editorial policies, including corrections, ethics, and disclosure practices. Some outlets offer short bios or links to professional profiles, while personal contact details may be limited to official channels to protect privacy.

The primary purpose of toimittajatiedot is to promote transparency and accountability, helping readers understand who is responsible for published content and how to contact the newsroom. It supports ethical journalistic practices by providing clear avenues for corrections, tips, and audience engagement. In larger media organizations, information may be organized by department or section and updated regularly to reflect staff changes; in smaller outlets, the page may be more concise.
