DECISION-MAKERS AND EXPERTS MEET AT KAUPPALEHTI'S ELECTION CLUB
Kauppalehti, part of Alma Media, enhances its reader services in expectation of
the mid-April parliamentary elections by expanding its societal content.
Kauppalehti also wants to activate the decision-makers in the private as well as
the public sector to discuss economics topics important to the nation.
Today, Kauppalehti's Election Club opens on Kauppalehti.fi online service's
election pages. The Election Club is a concept for party blogs and new form of
decision-maker communications allowing interaction between the Finnish decision-
making public and political influencers through blog posts and comments.
The blogs of parties running for parliament are published in turns. Today's blog
post is by the National Coalition Party, aiming to start a discussion on
"Sustainable economy, quality of life and clean environment-a good everyday life
is a top priority". The Coalition Party bloggers are the MPs Sari Sarkomaa,
Raija Vahasalo, Petteri Orpo and Arto Satonen, all candidates for the Parliament
in the coming election. On Wednesday, it will be the Centre Party's turn with
the blog of Timo Kaunisto. Other Centre Party bloggers are Tuomo Puumala and
Annika Saarikko. The Centre party bloggers are all Vice Chairmen of their party
and candidates for the Parliament. Kaunisto and Puumala are also currently MPs,
while Saarikko acts as Special Adviser for the Prime Minister.
-We hope that the Election Club blogs and, as an extension, the ensuing online
discussion will address not only general economic policies, but also business
issues important to the private sector decision-makers. I'm sure answers to
difficult questions will be demanded in the comments, says Jenniliisa Särkkä,
responsible for the advertising sales of the Kauppalehti Election Club.
-Kauppalehti's various media have a demanding and educated audience including a
large number of SMB owners and entrepreneurs. Among them, there are significant
opinion leaders in Finland and people who might promote the success of the
various parties in many ways. We are hoping for a lively and constructive
discussion, Ms Särkkä continues.
In addition to the Election Club, the election site of Kauppalehti.fi also
includes the blog Unexpectedly (Hoksaamatta & Yllätyksenä) by Kauppalehti's
editorial staff, which was opened earlier. This blog talks about election
campaigning and phenomena around it, and most importantly, discusses economic
policies. Its writers are Kyösti Jurvelin, Jorma Pöysä and Harri Vänskä, all
experienced Kauppalehti economics writers. The team is complemented by Arno
Ahosniemi, Editor-in-Chief.
Kauppalehti's election pages also publish the latest political news. As
campaigning begins to gather momentum, the pages will also include Kauppalehti's
online candidate selector.
