MV-media

MV-media is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand MV-media rather than just read about it. In short: MV-media, also known as MV??!!, formerly Mitä Vittua? ("What the Fuck?") and MV-lehti, is a Finnish fake news website founded by Ilja Janitskin.

Key takeaways

MV-media belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect MV-media to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of MV-media from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

MV-media, also known as MV??!!, formerly Mitä Vittua? ("What the Fuck?") and MV-lehti, is a Finnish fake news website founded by Ilja Janitskin. The website publishes disinformation and conspiracy theories with a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Islam, anti-vaccine, pro-Russian and Eurosceptic agenda. The site has links to the far-right anti-immigrant group Soldiers of Odin. As of 2022, the publication is based in Russian-occupied Eastern Ukraine. It regularly shares Russian state propaganda. By March 2015, MV-lehti was the subject of five police reports regarding defamation. In January 2016, nine student and youth groups called for advertisers to boycott the site due to "hate speech and repeated lies". Janitskin was suspected of several crimes, including incitement to ethnic or racial hatred, libel and copyright infringement, and was taken into custody by the Andorran police in August 2017. He had several previous convictions for violent crimes between 2000 and 2011. He was later extradited to Finland, and in October 2018, Janitskin was convicted of 16 offences and given a 22-month prison sentence. According to the court, Janitskin was the chief editor and owner of MV-lehti, and as such, he was responsible for its content. Among his convictions was the defamation of the journalist Jessikka Aro and two other women. Janitskin was likely to be spared from any more prison time as he had been in custody and in home arrest for almost a year. He would have been released as a first-timer after completing half of his sentence. In January 2018, Janitskin left MV-media. The new owner, Juha Korhonen, said he would make the website ”more cleanlier". Since 2019, the editor in chief has been Janus Putkonen. Janitskin died of colorectal cancer in February 2020, at the age of 42. He had been appealing his convictions in the Appeals Court of Helsinki.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with MV-media

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what MV-media claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to MV-media before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about MV-media ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of MV-media

In research: MV-media appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses MV-media in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: MV-media is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2014 establishments in Finland, 9/11 conspiracy theorists, Alternative medicine publications, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for MV-media outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
