23.3.2016 | People

Freelance journalist and producer Jussi Ovaskainen has been chosen to fill the on-board reporter’s position for the duration of Tallink’s new generation LNG vessel building project. Jussi (45) is an experienced media worker: he has been employed as the chief editor of the Skimbaaja newspaper, as a presenter at Radio Fon, and producer at Radio Nova.

Jussi is a skilled writer, photographer, and video operator. He is also an experienced presenter and host. Social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram are quite familiar to Jussi as well.

I love to tell stories using text, pictures, video, and my voice. I am profoundly interested in people and their stories, I am curious, positive, and hard-working.

I truly look forward to performing the tasks of an on-board reporter and see a huge positive opportunity in the involvement of people, different channels and diverse content,

Jussi rejoices.

A whopping 150 people applied for the on-board reporter’s job. It was also among the most often clicked open job ads at Oikotie. See a video presentation Jussi made of himself:

Welcome on board, Jussi!
