subjects

The Baltic Rundschau mainly deals with current affairs from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Further focal points are events and topics from Western European countries with a content-related relationship to the Baltic States as well as the situation in the neighboring states of Poland , Russia and Belarus .

criticism

The newspaper has a cooperation with the Russian news agency RIA Novosti and regularly publishes articles by the state information agency Sputnik . In several cases, this collaboration led to tendentious reporting and dissemination of so-called fake news , such as B. in the case of the Estonian children's globe without Russia , although continents were shown on the globe. In some articles the illegal occupation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union is denied and the occupation is presented as a voluntary accession.

target group

The main target group of the Baltic Rundschau are German-speaking business people and travelers in the Baltic States as well as readers from Western and Central Europe who are interested in the Baltic States. Regular subscribers are also governments and institutions of the EU, foreign embassies, commercial agencies, banks, insurance companies, international companies, tourist facilities, cultural institutes and universities.
