    Human Relations, May 2006, 59(5): 611-636 Between West and East: A Social History of Business Journalism in Cold War Finland Antti Ainamo Helsinki School of Economics, Finland Janne Tienari Lappenranta University of Tehnology, Finland Eero Vaara Swedish School of Economics, Finland Ecole de Management de Lyon, France Between West and East: A Social History of Business Journalism in Cold War Finland Abstract The Cold War era was characterized by ideological struggles that had a major impact on economic decision-making, and also on management practice. To date, however, these ideological struggles have received little attention from management and organizational scholars. To partially fill this research gap, we focus on the role of the media in these ideological struggles. Our starting point is that the media both reflect more general societal debates but also act as an agency promoting specific kinds of ideas and ideologies. In this sense, the media exercise significant power in society; this influece, however, is often subtle and easily dismissed in historical analyses focusing on political and corporate decision-making. In this article, we focus on the role of business journalism in the ideological struggles of the Cold War era. Our case in point is Finland, which is arguably a particularly interesting example due to its geo- political position between East and West. Our approach is socio-historical: we focus on the emergence and development of business journalism in the context of the specific struggles in the Finnish political and economic fields. Our analysis shows how the business journalists struggled between nationalist, pro-Soviet and pro-West political forces, but gradually developed into an increasingly influential force promoting neo-liberal ideology.

  • Chapter 4. Finland
    Chapter 4 Finland Sustaining professional norms with fewer journalists and declining resources Marko Ala-Fossi, John Grönvall, Kari Karppinen, & Hannu Nieminen Introduction Finland is a small, affluent country with a population of 5.5 million people, characterised by political, socioeconomic, and media structures typical of the Nordic welfare model (Syvertsen et al., 2014). The small size of its media market, together with a distinct language area, contributes to a relatively concentrated media system in the country with well-integrated professional norms and a high reach of the main national news media organisation. As per Hallin and Mancini’s (2004) categorisation, the Finnish media system is considered to represent the democratic corporatist model. Histori- cally, characteristics of the model include strong state intervention, reconciled with well-developed media autonomy and professionalisation. Alongside other Nordic countries, the system has also been characterised with the label media welfare state, whose distinct features involve communication services as universal public goods, institutionalised editorial freedom, cultural policy extending to the media, and a tendency to choose policy solutions that are consensual, durable, and involve cooperation between both public and private stakeholders (Syvertsen et al., 2014: 17; see also Karppinen & Ala-Fossi, 2017). In international assessments, Finland has repeatedly ranked as one of the top countries for media freedom and democracy. Politically, Finland is considered a parliamentary republic with “free and fair elections and robust multiparty competition” (Freedom House, 2020). Freedom in the World 2021: status “free” (Score: 100/100, stable since 2017) (Free- dom House, 2021). Finland is one of the only three countries to receive a perfect score of 100 (Repucci, 2020).
