A study examining the media coverage of the Finnish ice hockey club Jokerit’s time in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), conducted by doctoral researcher Joakim Särkivuori and senior researcher Antti Laine, both from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has been published. The study delves into the reporting by the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat during a politically tumultuous time.
