The Advantages and Disadvantages for Immigrant Integration

Abstrakti

As with the rest of Scandinavia, increasing numbers of foreigners have come to live in Finland in recent years, whether as workers, students or asylum-seekers. One of the changes heralded by this migration has been the development of news sources in Finland, either specifi cally aimed at immigrants or, at least, of appeal to them. While such new sources are well-established in countries such as Norway and Denmark, they are relatively new in Finland. This article will examine the different news sources aimed at immigrants in Finland and their relative advantages and disadvantages for immigrants, especially with regard to assimilation.
