Kansan Lehti (Finnish: People’s Newspaper) was a social democratic newspaper published in Tampere[1] from 1898 until 1991. The first issue of the paper appeared in December 1898.[2] In the early period it was a handwritten publication and had a socialist political stance.[1] During this period it came out six times per week and sold nearly 10,000 copies.[1] Over time the paper became affiliated with the Social Democratic Party.[2] One of its financial managers was Vihtori Kosonen who began to serve in the post in 1906.[3]
