Sakala is an Estonian language daily newspaper first published in Viljandi on 11 March 1878 by Carl Robert Jakobson, a major figure of the Estonian national awakening period in the 19th century. [1] It was considered as having a more radical line than the moderate Olevik . [2]

Sakala was the first political newspaper in Estonian. It was the most popular newspaper among Estonians in the late 19th century. Today, it is the local newspaper of Viljandi County. [1]

The masthead logo of Sakala was designed by Eduard Magnus Jakobson.
