Helsingin Sanomat ( Helsinkier Nachrichten ) is the largest circulation and most influential daily newspaper in Finland .
Their circulation in 2017 was 234,258 copies. It is read by more than three quarters of the people in the Helsinki area and by a quarter of all Finns . Most of the readers get Helsingin Sanomat by subscription , which makes them the largest subscription daily newspaper in Northern Europe according to their own account .
With a few exceptions (for example not after Vappu or Midsummer ), the newspaper appears daily, and on Fridays it is accompanied by the Nyt ( Jetzt ) event and television supplement . On the first Sunday of each month, subscribers receive the monthly supplement Kuukausiliite , which is published once a month in magazine form and which is particularly valued for the quality of its reports and photojournalistic work.
Helsingin Sanomat sees itself as a non-partisan and independent newspaper. It was founded in 1889 as Päivälehti ( Tagblatt ) and has been published under its current title since 1904. It has always been a family company of the Erkko publishing dynasty. Today it belongs to their media group Sanoma , which also publishes the largest tabloid in the country, Ilta-Sanomat .
Like many other subscription newspapers in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat has a front page made up entirely of advertisements.
For many years the journalists working at Helsingin Sanomat included the writer Harri Nykänen, who has also been published in Germany .
