>For nearly four decades, Matti Kuusela was a mainstay of Finland’s journalism scene. As a reporter for *Aamulehti*, the country’s second-largest daily newspaper, he covered everything from the war in Afghanistan to a doping scandal back home. He won major prizes, including two awards for story of the year from Finnish journalism groups. But if you look today for his byline in *Aamulehti*’s archives, you’ll come up mostly empty. The newspaper’s editors have yanked five hundred and fifty-one of his articles from the website. Only three remain.

This whole ordeal reeks of a popular news outlet making him the scapegoat for damage control, for honestly explaining his modus operandi when being a journalist, as if it’s just something journalists do.
I’d like to believe mixing real, verified facts, and conjecture and even fiction is the norm in modern journalism, not the exception, and he inadvertently exposed it.
