Uusi Pori

Uusi Pori is a Finnish local newspaper distributed free of charge in the city of Pori and its neighbouring municipalities in the Satakunta region. It was founded in 1993 by journalist Pekka Tauriainen, who also served as its editor-in-chief until 2012. The paper is published by Kustannus Oy Uusi-Tuuli, a company in which Tauriainen remained a part-owner, and for many years its majority owner was Juhani Seppälä, a printing entrepreneur from Köyliö. At its peak the paper had a distribution of 60,000 copies. In March 2014 the paper faced closure when majority owner Juhani Seppälä filed for bankruptcy for both the printing house and the publishing company. The paper was rescued by Tapio Oksanen, previously a minority shareholder, together with business partners. Oksanen has served as editor-in-chief since 2014. As a fully independent local paper, its content in recent years has focused more on local Satakunta topics while still taking strong, impartial stands on regional issues when necessary. The paper is now in its 28th volume year. Its editorial office employs two people and its sales department three. Since 2020 the publisher has been Satakunnan Markkinointi- ja mediakustannus Oy. The official website uusipori.fi currently displays content related to tax-free online casinos and gambling reviews, which appears to be unrelated to the newspaper's core publishing activity and may indicate a change in the domain's use or a separate web operation.
