More details

Yle’s purpose

We increase our understanding of each other and the world, and strengthen Finnish society and culture.

Yle’s values

We are reliable and responsible – we carry out our mission independently. We encourage creativity – we have courage to give room for new ideas. We value the individual – together we can accomplish something better.

Yle’s direction

Towards the next hundred years of public service media: the renewal of Yleisradio is shared by all and unique for everyone – for the best interests of Finnish society.

Yle’s far-reaching themes – the most important prerequisites of success in terms of our mission

Purpose sets Yle apart. The mission of public service is to serve everyone. Yle is available to all, but each individual experiences it differently.

For Yle to carry out its mission and perform well in the future, it must succeed in two important areas.

Yle creates value for people and society

As a public service medium, Yleisradio is part and a manifestation of democracy, and a state governed by the rule of law. Yle always defends western democracy, the basic principles of a state governed by the rule of law, freedom of speech and human dignity.

Yle helps people feel that they are part of the society around them. Yle is present in the whole of Finland, and Yle’s activities are available to everyone without extra charge.

Yle’s archives are the memory of the nation. In our content, we open up views into the future, help build the Finland of the future and build faith in the future.

Yle also plays a special role in maintaining a general sense of security as a provider of reliable information. This role is highlighted when there are disturbances or exceptional circumstances in society.

Our services to special groups are unique.

Through cooperation, we also create value for the creative and media sectors, as well as for an extensive network of partners.

We measure our success in several ways – not just through the number of viewers and listeners – to assess the impact of our operations.

Only a trustworthy Yle can fulfil its mission and be a provider of services for the entire nation

Yle must be worthy of the trust of people with different lifestyles and ways of thinking. Only thus can Yle fulfil its mission and be a provider of services for the entire nation.

Trust is a personal experience – a feeling that stems from honesty, presence and the sense of being heard. Yle increases dialogue with audiences and its coverage of the ideas and lives of different kinds of people. Finland is more diverse than it was, and so is Yle.

Yle refrains from taking sides in its journalism.

Strengths

What we maintain and look after and what we develop

We know and reach every audience in Finland.

We want to continue to reach every audience. We engage in a dialogue with audiences to understand what they expect of us, and what they think about us.

We ensure the reliability of our content and services.

We uncompromisingly foster reliability and independence in journalism, culture, education and all our other operations. We develop audio and visual expression for the new decade, and produce the best content and services in the media sector.

We display an increasingly diverse image of Finland and the world.

We increasingly focus on highlighting people with different lifestyles and ways of thinking, as well as their stories, from all over Finland and the world. We bring the world closer by going where first hand information can be obtained. We increase mutual understanding between people and give a voice to those who are otherwise invisible in public.

With a lot of co-operation abroad, Yle’s ways of working go beyond national borders. Moreover, our internationally acclaimed content and services make Finland known abroad.

We bring memorable shared moments to audiences.

We make memorable shared moments even more impressive. We also aim to bring major sporting events, celebrations and important events to the audiences in the future.

We provide diverse services to special groups.

Yle takes care of services to special groups and makes it possible for special groups to also participate in making Yle content and services. Special services are part of the diversity of Yle’s programming. For example, Yle can use technology to improve the accessibility of content and services.
