Vihreä Lanka was a political magazine representing the views of the Green League, published eight times per year in Helsinki, Finland.[1] From 1983 to 2016, it was published biweekly in newspaper form. From 2016, Vihreä Lanka was published as a periodical magazine until December 2019 when it ceased publication.[2]

History and profile

Vihreä Lanka was launched as a newspaper in 1983 and published by Vihreä Lanka Oy.[3] Its publisher was established in 1988. The magazine was headquartered in Helsinki[3] [4] and was published in tabloid format biweekly[5] on Fridays.[6] It was a political publication[7] with an affiliation with the Green League.[1] [8] [9]

Elina Grundström served as the editor-in-chief of Vihreä Lanka between 2006 and 2010.[10] Juha Honkonen was another editor-in-chief of the biweekly.[6]

In 2011, Vihreä Lanka had a checked circulation of 10,200 copies. It was redesigned as a magazine in 2016 to improve its readership.[11] However, this did not work and increase the circulation which was just 10,000 copies.[11] As a result, the magazine and its website was closed in December 2019.[2] In August 2020, the magazine was succeeded by another magazine, Vihreä (Finnish: Green), which was started by the Green League.[11] The party has since withdrawn all funding that it had given to Finnish green magazines and newspapers.[12]
