Turun Sanomat is the leading regional newspaper of the region of Finland Proper. It is published in the region's capital, Turku, and is read daily by about 280 000 people, or 70% of the inhabitants, in the city and its surrounding municipalities, making it the third most widely read morning newspaper in Finland (after Helsingin Sanomat and Aamulehti). The paper has been published since 1904, and is politically independent and non-aligned.
The newspaper publishes two weekly supplements, Treffi (on entertainment, and containing the following week's TV programmes) and Extra, and the monthly TS Talous (with in-depth economic coverage). It also operates its own printing press and the local television channel Turku TV. The current executive editor of Turun Sanomat is Raimo Vahtera.
