History and profile

Founded in 1876 Finsk Tidskrift is the oldest cultural publication in Finland.[1][2] The founder was Carl Gustaf Estlander, a Finnish academic and cultural activist.[3] He also served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine from its start in 1876 to 1886.[3] Frederika Runeberg contributed to the magazine between 1877 and 1879.[4]

In the 1880s only 5% of its content focused on politics, and the religious topics were even less covered, just 3% of its content.[5]
