Talentum will start to publish a new magazine called Tekniikan Historia (The History of Technology) in the autumn. The magazine will be issued six times a year.

Tekniikan Historia focuses on the origins of different inventions in Finland and elsewhere. It also describes how new machines and instruments have changed the everyday life of people.

“Nowadays it’s a rare treat to be able to announce the birth of a new magazine. In Talentum Media we still believe that there are readers to be found for good stories, and the history of technology is full of exciting topics”, Talentum CEO Aarne Aktan says.

Tekniikan Historia will be produced by the editorial staff of magazine Tekniikka&Talous. These journalists have a lot of experience and talent for technology.

“While Tekniikka&Talous covers new technologies and their consequences, Tekniikan Historia is turning the attention into the history. The past is full of great untold stories about inventions that literally have changed the world. I believe that the new magazine will find friends among the people who are interested in history, as well as technology experts”, the editor-in-chief Jyrki Alkio says.

Talentum has published a magazine called Teknikhistoria in Sweden since 2010.
