Baltic News Today is an independent English-language news platform covering Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — spanning politics, economy, defence, climate, trade and society — for readers across the Baltic region and the wider Baltic diaspora. Our mission is to track the developments shaping the Baltic states and deliver reliable, objective and timely reporting on the stories that matter most.
About Us
Baltic News Today was founded in 2026 to close a gap in independent English-language coverage of the Baltic region. We believe quality journalism about Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia should be accessible to everyone — whether you live in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, London or Chicago.
Our editorial team produces articles every week on political, economic, defence, climate and social developments across the three Baltic states. We answer to no political party and no corporate backer — our only commitment is to our readers and to the facts.
Our Values
⚖️ Independence
We take no funding from political parties, governments or corporate lobbies. Editorial choices are made by journalists, not by sponsors.
✓ Accuracy
Every story is checked before it goes live. When we get something wrong, we say so and fix it — clearly, not quietly.
🌍 Accessibility
Our reporting is free to read, in English, for Baltic residents and the diaspora alike — no paywall between you and the news.
🤝 Respect
We treat our readers, our sources and the region we cover with respect. Any advertising is always clearly marked as such.
