INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM NEEDS INDEPENDENT FINANCING

Investigative journalism is not an expensive hobby. It is a trade: often lonely, sometimes brave, full-time job which requires both time and money. It is expensive and thus become the first victim when traditional media face crisis. But without it we cannot understand the world around us and held the powers responsible.

We do it as a non-profit organisation which raises money itself and gives investigations to traditional media and publishes them online for free access.

We as editors are the only ones who decide what we are going to investigate because we - and not the advertisers or owners - think it is important topic for the Baltic societies. Thus we can investigate social inequality, corruption, abuses of power or money laundering.

We look for grants and earn ourselves via teaching, moderating events and researching scripts for films. But it takes away time we need for doing journalism.
Therefore we need you to donate and become part of Re:Baltica's community!

Now you can also donate through Mobilly!

The Woman with the Cut Off Ear

28. February, 2020Inga Spriņģe, Re:Baltica

Last March, Santa’s former partner cut off her ear. Afterwards, he calmly walked out of her apartment, taking the ear with him, and went to the police. On the way, he threw the ear away but didn’t tell the police where. As a result, the 12 hours during which it could have been reattached were lost.

In Russia’s shadow, populists rise before the Latvian elections

1. October, 2018Inga Spriņģe, Re:Baltica

Every European election these days starts with the same two questions. The first is obvious: who is going to win and form the government? And will Russia interfere as it did in the US presidential election?

How Latvia is (not) catching Russian spies

17. May, 2018Inga Spriņģe, Re:Baltica

Since the Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the increased NATO military presence in the Baltic states, 20 of Baltic residents have been detained under suspicions of spying, mainly for Russia. For Latvia, the two are the first cases of espionage since the restoration of independence from the Soviet Union. Who are they and why so few?

Latvia's ageing dilemma

A Country for Old Men

27. September, 2017Inga Spriņģe, Re:Baltica

Latvia is slowly aging. Schools are shut down and transformed into old folks homes. By 2030, almost half of Latvia’s inhabitants are projected to be over the age of 50 while the number of working people will drop by one fifth. The small Baltic nation of almost 2 million people is facing a political choice. Will it be a smaller, older and much quieter country? Or will it be a more vibrant, younger country, but with a lot of guest workers? Re:Baltica investigates five different scenarios for Latvia’s future development.
