The following report assesses the management practices and content quality of
Yle – Yleisradio Oy, the Finnish national free-to-air public media service company –
according to the public service values defined by the EBU in Strasbourg in 2012. The
report is based on a combination of a self-assessment by Yle and the on-site visit in
Helsinki by an international group of peers on 14–16 January 2015.
This report reflects the peers’ observations, opinions and suggestions after their
visit. It starts with general comments and then outlines Yle’s performance in terms
of the six public service values (universality, independence, excellence, diversity,
accountability, and innovation). It highlights best practices (actions, ideas, activities,
programmes) that could be used as a model by other EBU Members.
