Magneettimedia is a Finnish free and online newspaper. It was initially published by retail chain J. Kärkkäinen but currently it is published by Pohjoinen perinne, a society linked with the Finnish Resistance Movement.^[1]

Controversies

In 2011 Skepsis ry, a society of Finnish sceptics, awarded J. Kärkkäinen a Huuhaa Prize, a prize for promoting pseudo-science, for publishing Magneettimedia. Skepsis accused Magneettimedia of promoting alternative medicine and conspiracy theories.^[2]

In October 2013, Magneettimedia's editor-in-chief Juha Kärkkäinen and the J. Kärkkäinen company were convicted of agitation against an ethnic group. This verdict was given due to anti-Semitic articles on Magneettimedia.^[3] For example, Magneettimedia has denied the Holocaust and accused Jews and Zionists of plotting to rule over the world. After the verdict, Magneettimedia ceased being published in paper form,^[4] but the company's articles were published as online newspapers. However, in April 2015 a new paper edition of Magneettimedia was published.^[1]

As of 2015, Magneettimedia did not identify its editor-in-chief, which is illegal under Finnish law.^[5]
