Television passed the one billion mark - preliminary data on the mass media market in 2011
Over the 2000s, the growth of the mass media market has hinged mostly on electronic media. The combined turnover of television, radio and web media has doubled. Printed media was in 2011 only barely over the level of 2001 and the recording market dropped last year even slightly under the level at the start of the millennium.
In 2011 the mass media market on the whole remained on level with the year before. The total value of Finland's mass media market was EUR 4.3 billion.

Electronic media still grew clearly (+ 7%) in 2011. For the first time, television passed the one billion mark.
Printed media went down by two per cent from the previous year and recorded media by as much as ten per cent. The drop was biggest for video recordings (- 15%).
