The Journalist
Being anxious to maintain contact with his homeland, Launis was a regular contributor to various Finnish newspapers (Helsingin Sanomat, Uusi Suomi, Suomen Kuvalehti). He co-founded and was an active member of the Sociéte de la presse étrangère de la Côte d'Azur (Association of foreign press of the French Riviera) and a journalist for the Association française d'expansion et d'échanges artistiques (French Association for the development of artistic exchanges).
In 1930 he settled permanently in Nice, France, where he died; he took an active part in musical and cultural exchanges between France and Finland.

Famous quotes containing the word journalist:
“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
