English news on the Baltics produced by local media
The list of news media outlets based in the Baltics that offer English language news and analysis from the region.
There are three types of media on the list: national news agencies with English language sections, pan-Baltic news outlets focusing on all three Baltic States, and specialised news platforms, blogs, or podcasts. The local Baltic market for English language news has been growing with the generational shift but is still very small. Almost all of the listed publications are catering for external audiences.
News agencies
bns.ee/en, bns.lt/en – two regional sites of Baltic News Service, the only pan-Baltic news agency providing daily news from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Some content is free of charge for registered users, but most articles are available only to subscribers.
elta.lt/en – the site of the Lithuanian news agency ELTA offers paid English news from Lithuania and some reports on the other Baltic states to subscribers.
leta.lv/eng – the site of Latvian news agency LETA offers daily news from Latvia and occasionally the other two Baltic States. Some articles are free of charge, but it mainly provides paid services.
Regional news outlets
