Overview

Verkkoapila was a Finnish political online newspaper (verkkolehti) produced by a company owned by the Centre Party of Finland (Suomen Keskusta). It was established alongside the party's print newspaper Suomenmaa as a publication close to the party, or more precisely to its party office. The publication's editor-in-chief was Juha Määttä, and earlier editors-in-chief included Pentti Manninen and Tuomas Koivuniemi. In 2010 Verkkoapila and Suomenmaa were merged into a single entity. The position of the publication became more uncertain after party secretary Jarmo Korhonen was replaced by Timo Laaninen. Editor-in-chief Tuomas Koivuniemi moved to become editor-in-chief of the Kauhajoki Kunnallislehti in August 2010. Verkkoapila ceased operations in its then-current form at the end of that same year. The main reason was financial problems, as the tax authority demanded half a million euros from Apollon Verkkopalvelut, which had financed the newspaper. The publication's website was at verkkoapila.fi.
