Ydin (Finnish: nuclear, nucleus, core, crux) is a bi-monthly political magazine published in Helsinki, Finland.[1]
Ydin was established by Ilkka Taipale in 1966.[2] It was started as the official media outlet of the Committee of 100. The magazine is headquartered in Helsinki and focuses on political and societal news.[1] [3] In the 1960s Pekka Peltola was the editor of the magazine.[4] Another former editor is Erkki Tuomioja who served in the post in the 1970s and 1980s.[4] As of 2012 Arja Alho, former member of the Finnish parliament, was its editor-in-chief.[5] Asa Butcher, co-editor of Ovi Magazine, is one of the editors of Ydin.[6]
