The new Finnish handbook on feature journalism Feature! – The master class in writing helps every writer rise to a new level. In this book 23 feature writers and journalists share their main lessons and tips.

Then came the internet, everything was digitized and the world was supposed to become democratized. So how did it go? In our book Gatekeepers – The Struggle for the Freedom of Information, me and Hannu-Pekka Ikäheimo delve into our technological modern times in the aftermath of the great digital revolution. It turns out that the gatekeepers are by no means lost. Rather, the new gatekeepers are even stronger and more cunning in form. The struggle between democratic and authoritarian gatekeeper systems is intensifying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d68c3a94b24c40001745e1b/dd7439d6-603c-4baf-a576-097642dfb844/O%CC%88ppna+kansikuva.JPEG Work - Öppna frågor – en guide till bättre svar (Gleerups, 2022) This Swedish textbook is a reworked version of Avoin kysymys targeted for higher education and journalism professionals.

I have produced or co-produced all three seasons of the show. The idea of the podcast is fairly simple: ask anything, and these guys will turn the topic upside down in a cheerful, but intellectual manner.
