Welcome to Via Baltica, your “information superhighway” for news from the three Baltic tigers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania! Our founder and editor-in-chief is Kerkko Paananen, senior news analyst with more than two decades of professional expertise in covering and reporting on current affairs in the Baltic States.
We aim to do one thing well: Every day, we will provide free text summaries of top news stories in the three Baltic States from major national and international media outlets. The short summaries will be grouped by specific category and tag, thus allowing you to follow your particular subjects of interest easily.
You can follow us on Bluesky and Mastodon. Alternatively, you can subscribe to our RSS feed or to our daily newsletter. We are very grateful for any feedback — positive or negative or anything in between — from our readers and visitors, preferably using the contact form on this website. Thank you for your interest.
