Jyrki Iivonen Honoured with "2013 Opinion Leader in Forestry" Title
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Jyrki Iivonen, political and economics editor has been honoured with the "2013
Opinion Leader in Forestry" title. One of the selection criteria used by the
jury was as follows: Mr Iivonen specialising in forestry is a sharp industry
observer whose straight writings in Finland's largest publisher of newspapers
and magazines have brought forestry issues to public debate for a number of
decades now.
According to the jury members, Iivonen's writings are extremely popular and
recognised in the forest industry although they "often lash out viciously at
those concerned". He has worked for Helsingin Sanomat since 1981 and written
about developments in the Finnish forest industries for three decades now. The
selection was published at OP-Pohjola's Forest Day event in Joensuu.
Every year, OP-Pohjola Group rewards a private individual, working group or
organisation in recognition of his/her/its contribution in the forestry sector.
The jury comprises Jyrki Kangas, Director General of Metsähallitus; Juha Ojala,
Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry; Mikko Tiirola,
Chairman of the Forestry Council; and Panu Kallio, Vice President, and Tapio
Tilli, Forest Service Manager, of OP-Pohjola Group.
Past holders of this title include opera singer Jorma Hynninen, film director
Markku Pölönen, Permanent Secretary Sirkka Hautojärvi, Secretary of State Raimo
Sailas, forest management associations when they celebrated their 100th
anniversary, Director of the Forestry Group of the Central Union of Agricultural
Producers and Forest Owners Juha Hakkarainen, Executive Director of the Finnish
Forest Association Juhani Karvonen, and Managing Director of the Finnish
