Utain

Utain was a Finnish weekly newspaper produced by the journalism training programme of the University of Tampere. It began publication in 2002 in print and added an online edition in 2003. The paper was published by the university's School of Communication, Media and Theatre (formerly the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication). It appeared once a week on Thursdays during teaching periods, from October to February, and the printed edition was also available online as a digital paper alongside the web edition. The name Utain was derived from the university's domain uta.fi and from the old Finnish verb 'utaista', meaning to inquire or ask. Its primary purpose was to serve as a learning environment and publishing platform for journalism students, with reporters drawn from majors in journalism and visual journalism. Working in the weekly's newsroom functioned as a simulation of editorial work, allowing students to apply knowledge and skills about journalism and society in a professional setting. The paper was redesigned in autumn 2011. In 2017 Utain merged into the multimedia publication Moreenimedia, ending its run as a standalone title.
