When Bad Journalism Goes Worse
It seems that the boundary of good practice of journalism in Finland is set somewhere a little above publishing images of national heroes. The sleaze magazine Seitsemän Päivää scored a new low and published several years old photos of Tomi Putaansuu, vocalist of the Eurovision Song Contest winner Lordi, on the cover of the newest issue, against pleas he has made on several occassions. This probably is nothing new to anyone residing in Finland with access to any media outlet.
Hämeen Sanomat, a regional newspaper also published a nonmasked image of band members. As far as I understood, this was in reference to a foreign magazine.
Both of the magazines are currently under extremely heavy criticism and are target of an (apparently) spontaneous grassroot movement. Boycott and petition sites have emerged and they are having loads of visitors. It appears these have been authored by rather young people, which just validates the greatness of Internet publishing.
