In addition to domestic and international news, it includes a review of Finnish newspapers and magazines, as well as articles concerning Finland published in the international press. Culture, sport and lifestyle sections are also essential parts of the content in Helsinki Times. The newspaper also offers a weekly events guide as well as a weekly selection of TV programmes in English.[1] [2] [3]

The tabloid format newspaper is published every Thursday with an average print run of 15,000 copies. It is on sale at bookstores and kiosks and is also distributed on all 350 Finnair flights into Helsinki each week. Helsinki Times is also available on the Allegro train travelling between St. Petersburg and Helsinki. Helsinki Times is available for print and online subscription. [4] [5]

Helsinki Times was established in April 2007 by Iranian-born doctor, writer, journalist and director Alexis Kouros who settled in Finland in 1990.[6]
