Suometar was a magazine founded by Fennoman students in Helsinki that appeared from 1847 to 1866. August Ahlqvist , Paavo Tikkanen , DED Europaeus and Antero Warelius initially wanted to present it to the educated elite as an ideologically oriented journal of Finnish people. After 1851 it became a people's magazine reporting other events in Finland with its "rural letters".
history
The main topics of the magazine, besides the Finnish language and literature articles, were travelogues and information on the ancient history of the Finns. The paper prevented the development of a written language based on the dialect of Savo, calling it Gottlund's heresy. In 1847 "Suometar" also published a supplement containing translations of texts by the French author Honoré de Balzac . In addition, "Klassen Suometar" ( Finnish: Suometar of children) (1856–1857) appeared, which is considered the first Finnish-language magazine for children and young people.
In 1854, when the events of the Crimean War also affected Finland, the paper received permission from the censors to report on the war. As a result, the circulation of the paper grew and appeared six times a week in between. In the 1860s, the number of editions fell when the virgin nomaniacs led by Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen distanced themselves from the cautious Finnish nature of the paper and founded the rival Helsingin Uutiset (1862–1863). Although the dispute between the fennomaniac groups was settled and Koskinen later returned to Suometar to help, the reconciliation was short-lived. In 1866 the magazine had to be abolished due to the low number of subscribers and the growing liabilities. A few years later, on the initiative of Yrjö Koskinen, a new Finnish newspaper "Uusi Suometar" ( Finnish: New Suomentar) was founded.
