RECRUITMENT OF THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF LAPIN KANSA TO CONTINUE AT ALMA MEDIA

The Board of Directors of Alma Media Corporation has decided to terminate the management contract of Johanna Korhonen, who was appointed Editor-in-Chief for Lapin Kansa newspaper. Alma Media restarts the recruitment process for the position immediately.

Serious lack of trust developed after the signing of the contract prevents Ms Korhonen to act as the Editor-in-Chief at Lapin Kansa.
