Finnish traditional news brands have a strong position; there are no aggressivedigital natives here like Newsner in Sweden or Buzzfeed in the U.S.

Twitter is the biggest social platform for business publishers Kauppalehti and Taloussanomat, for all others it’s Facebook.

Radio stations have built a bigger social audience than they see on their web sites.

Some publishers do better on certain platforms; Yle dominates on Twitter, hS is big on LinkedIn and blogs prevail on Pinterest.

The top 3 clearly dominate what Finns share on Facebook. Iltalehti has triple the number of the #5 MTV3.

Even though radio stations and business publishers have a big social reach, they are not able to get their fans to engage as much as other publishers.

We analyzed the headlines of the most engaging articles and the character of the different platforms becomes very clear. Due to the size and activity, Facebook best represents Finland’s spirit, but Twitter is consulted for opinions and news, Pinterest for hobbies and interior design and LinkedIn for work related content.
