ABOUT

I am a Co-Founder of the new Finnish media venture Uusi Juttu. Also, I am a media scholar and continue my research in affiliation with the University of Jyväskylä, where I hold the title of Docent (Associate Professor).

I have a strong background in news and current affairs journalism in legacy media. Over the past decade I have immersed myself in media crisis, future of audio, and interviewing as a journalistic method.

I have been awarded both of the two major journalism awards in Finland: The Bonnier Grand Journalist Prize for Journalist of the Year 2017 and the Suomen Kuvalehti Journalist Prize in 2019. Also two shows I’ve hosted have been awarded with The Education Achievement of the Year (“Vuoden sivistysteko”) by Koura (Ykkösaamu in 2014 and Jaa, ei, tyhjiä, poissa in 2019).
