Otherwise, media would be a good suggestion, but your Kudoz question is about "lehdet", which means newspapers.

And magazines, of course.
Personally, I think they would have written "nousi media-aiheeksi"/"nousi median tietoisuuteen"/"nousi median kärkiuutisiin" or something to that effect, if they had meant that. Nobody talks about the papers, if they mean the media. There is a certain difference between the two concepts.

I simply had to point out the difference, because I used to study Communications Theory and my professor would turn in his grave if I hadn't done that. He always talked about what the word "media" means (he actually died after our course had finished). Nowadays I think everybody knows what media means, but 20 years ago it was not the case yet.

Comment: "All answers were appreciated. The hangup was the misspelling of the word palsta due to an OCR error."

became famous in the media
Considering the rest of the sentence, this is something a bit more than just appearing in a paper - I would say "...became famous in the media and among the whole nation", or something along those lines.

And yes, it definitely should be "palstoille".

Yes, of course it does, but I don't think "nousta lehtien palstoille" is meant literally here, just as an idiom to mean someone getting fame/media attention...

made the papers
This is an idiomatic expression that I think most closely matches the tone of the original; Google it in quotes for examples. However, you would then need a different verb for the second part, e.g., "XXX made the papers and sprang up in the (Finnish) national consciousness..."
