Read Less, Know More

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 expertise in covering current affairs in the Baltic States.

We aim to do one thing well: Every day, we will provide free summaries of top news stories in the three Baltic States from major 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, Facebook, MastodonTelegram, Threads, and X/Twitter, or subscribe to our RSS feed or to our daily or weekly newsletter. We are very grateful for any feedback.
