History

The newspaper has a complex history. The current form of the newspaper was first published in January 2003, when '' Itä-Helsingin Uutiset'' merged with '' MaTaPuPu'' which was first published in September 1981. The newspaper '' Alueuutiset'' became a weekly supplement of ''Helsingin Uutiset'' in 2005, until it was fully merged into ''Helsingin Uutiset'' in 2006. The online readership of ''Helsingin Uutiset'' has grown greatly in the 2010s and it is now part of the ten most-read news media in Finland. The paper newspaper originally had four local editions, until they were decreased to three and then to two. During Karri Kannala's period as editor the direction changed and the newspaper announced in November 2019 that it would return to local editions, of which there have been six since early 2020: east, northeast, southeast, central, west and downtown. At the same time the newspaper focuses on locality via news and topic journalism. ''Helsingin Uutiset'' is the largest free newspaper in Finland in terms of number of readers.
