So ironic Meduza is operating from Latvia.
Meduza focusing more on Russia proper, I'm not aware of any decent quality local Russian language news media in Latvia. That leaves a large part of the population exposed to "news" worse than Fox News. That is not a healthy situation...
The _local_ news media in Latvia are mostly bad quality. Apart from ir.lv and small initiatives like rebaltica.lv, that is. Those are both Latvian language. The biggest newspapers diena.lv and nra.lv are both linked to local oligarchs. Quite ironic, especially when you know that nra translates to _independent_ morning news...
P.S. If anyone can point me towards decent quality Russian language media in Latvia, I'd be really grateful!
- samat 7y agoIt’s a question of an addressable market population, sadly :(

- markvdb 7y agoThank you for your comment. Delfi's not too bad indeed, for a web news portal. Probably the best available. I should have clarified that with "decent quality", I meant things like original investigative journalism and a verifiable ethics policy. Delfi falls short on the first and I'm not entirely sure about the second...
