| | Tuomas Lohi. "Totu sitä sallimahan, mik´ ei parkuen parane". Suomen johtavan sanomalehdistön ... |
 | | This work is concerned with the attitudes of the principal newspapers in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat, Hufvudstadsbladet, Maakansa, Suomen Sosialidemokraatti, Uusi Suomi and Vapaa Sana, towards Urho Kekkonen during the time leading up to his presidency, in 1944-1956. |
 | | Maakansa was the most active paper in writing about Kekkonen, and gained a position as his mouthpiece early in his career, whereas Hufvudstadsbladet was more passive in its view of him and Suomen Sosialidemokraatti and Uusi Suomi were the most critical. |
 | | All in all, however, the majority of the leading newspapers tended for the most part to be critical of him during this period, although he gained some recognition even amongst his opponents, who admitted that he had been a forceful and effective personality as Minister of Justice, Speaker of Parliament and Prime Minister. |
