## About

Yle News is Finland's window to the world translated into English, and it performs that function with the methodical authority of a public broadcaster that has never confused accessibility with simplification. Its coverage prioritizes the Nordic-Baltic region and EU affairs with a pace built for informed reading rather than breaking-news consumption. The outlet most relied on by foreigners in Finland is also the one most trusted by Finns about Finland.

## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
