The Latvian outlet most people read in English is a brand-new institution wearing a decades-old face. LSM fused the country's public television and radio into one newsroom in 2025, then pointed its English service at security, society, and the Russia-shaped questions next door. Funded by a fixed slice of GDP and stripped of ads, it trades commercial noise for steady, state-backed coverage.
