For more than ten years, Yle News has served as Finland's go-to source for detailed news in English. The team behind Yle News consists of journalists from various English-speaking backgrounds, bringing a rich diversity of perspectives. Founded in 1999, during Finland's first term as a rotating EU Presidency, Yle News was created to provide extensive English-language coverage about Finland across television, radio, and online platforms. The inaugural Yle News television bulletin was broadcast on TV Channel 1 on June 7, 1999, with the last bulletin airing on February 26, 2017. Before Yle News, Radio Finland offered multilingual programming, including English news, with the first English-language radio news segment being aired during World War II. Currently, the Yle News television bulletin is available to viewers in Finland and internationally through online platforms. The service primarily caters to foreigners in Finland and those interested in the country worldwide, using its website, radio, and social media channels. Stories from Yle News are also featured on the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs' thisisFINLAND portal. English-language radio news broadcasts on two Yle networks ensure nationwide coverage. The Yle News website highlights the most important local stories each day, covering everything from political and business developments to topics of interest for tourists and expatriates in Finland. With around 200,000 readers each month, the site is regularly updated from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM to 8:30 PM on weekends.
