Attitudes of the leading Finnish newspapers towards Urho Kekkonen in 1944–1956 Department of History, University of Oulu, P.O.Box 1000, FIN-90014 University of Oulu, Finland Oulu, Finland 2003 Abstract This work is concerned with the attitudes of the principal newspapers in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat, Hufvudstadsbladet, Maakansa, Suomen Sosialidemokraatti, Uusi Suomi and Vapaa Sana, towards Urho Kekkonen during the time leading up to his presidency, in 1944-1956. The account proceeds chronologically, employing principally a qualitative historical method, although with some quantitative aspects. A total of 1284 articles or news items concerned with Kekkonen were published in these leading newspapers during the period in question, the vast majority, 87.5%, in 1950-1956. Maakansa was the most active paper in writing about Kekkonen, and gained a position as his mouthpiece early in his career, whereas Hufvudstadsbladet was more passive in its view of him and Suomen Sosialidemokraatti and Uusi Suomi were the most critical.
