(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Alma Media Corporation Press release December 3, 2012 at 9:00 (EET)
NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF FOR KAINUUN SANOMAT
The editorial management of Kainuun Sanomat, a newspaper published by Alma
Media, will change in the beginning of May 2013. The paper's present editor-in-
chief, Mr Matti Piirainen, will retire next summer reaching the age of 63.
Mr Piirainen is the editor-in-chief for Kainuun Sanomat since 1995. His career
as editor-in-chief spans more than 30 years. Before Kainuun Sanomat, he was
editor-in-chief of Koillissanomat and Kuhmolainen, and before that, journalist
at the business newspaper Talouselämä, the afternoon paper Ilta-Sanomat, and the
nationwide daily Helsingin Sanomat.
Mr Piirainen says that during his tenure as editor-in-chief, the newspaper
industry has been through a major structural change that is still continuing. In
the near future, the content of newspapers will move from paper to electronic
reading devices. Despite this, says Mr Piirainen, the main duty of newspapers
will not change: to change each paper's region and the whole world for the
better.
Recruitment for the successor of Matti Piirainen will start immediately.
