Kaltio is a bimonthly Finnish cultural magazine based in Oulu, Finland. It has been in circulation since 1945 making it one of the earliest magazines in Finland. In fact, it is the only national cultural magazine that has been published regularly outside the Helsinki Metropolitan Area for a long time. [1] [2] The title of the magazine is a reference to a spring specific to the region which always has fresh water. [3]

History and profile

Kaltio was started in Spring 1945 by two journalists and war veterans Atte Kalajoki and Reino Rinne in Oulu. [4] [5] [6] The purpose in establishing the magazine was to reconstruct the culture of Northern Finland or Lapland following World War II. [4] [3] Atte Kalajoki is also founding editor-in-chief of the magazine which he held until 1963. [4] The first issue appeared in April 1945. [3] Between 1953 and 1954, Kaltio published articles in German, English and Danish. [4] The magazine covered the text-based articles published in black-and-white until 1999 when it was redesigned as a full colour publication. [2] Since then the covers of Kaltio have featured Northern Finnish artists and their work. [2]

Kaltio is published six times per year. [1] [7] The tone and style of the magazine have varied based on the approaches of its editors-in-chief. [8] The magazine has attempted to remain neutral in terms of politics, but during the editorship of Turo Manninen between 1967 and 1972 Kaltio was close to left-wing movements. [4] The other editors-in-chief of the magazine include Tuomo Jämsä (1984–1986), Tuure Holopainen (1988–1995) and Martti T. Asunmaa (1973–1983). [4] Another editor-in-chief was Jussi Vilkun who served in the post during the early 2000s. [8] He was removed from the post in February 2006 when he allowed to publish a cartoon featuring the Prophet Muhammad in the website of Kaltio. [9] Following the publication of this caricature some companies ended their advertisement contracts with the magazine. [9] As of 2020 Paavo J. Heinonen was the editor-in-chief of the magazine since 2010. [5]

As of 2006 Kaltio had nearly 2,000 subscribers in Finland. [9]

Finland and the United States currently have good relations. The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Finland after it declared independence in 1917, and officially established diplomatic relations in 1920. Due to World War II and Soviet pressure, relations were suspended between 1942 and 1945 before being raised to embassy level in 1954. Finland has been of strategic importance to the United States due to its position bordering the Soviet Union and later Russia, and after the end of the Cold War in 1991 Finland's shift to the West has led to warmer relations. There is significant trade activity, including military procurement, between the two countries. The United States supported Finlanď's NATO membership during Finland's accession into NATO, which was finalized on 4 April 2023.
