Abstract: Finnish forest policy has turned into the paradigm of (participatory) multi-objective forestry during the last decades. In this paper, we identify different types of discoursal power in the Finnish print media and analyse how – and with what kind of consequences – these types of power are associated with the present paradigm. The data consist of randomly selected print media articles (n = 164) on forest issues from three case years (1977, 1997, 2017). The mixed method analysis combines qualitative content analysis with multivariate methods.
