LRT English is the English-language news service of Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT), based in Vilnius. Its output centres on Lithuania and the Baltic states, followed by Russia, the United States, Belarus, the European Union and Ukraine. Politics and security together take about two thirds, with diplomacy the largest single subject and economy next. Its headlines about Lithuania read as neutral institutional reporting.
Only Lithuania has been measured for LRT English, over a short period, and the headlines read as neutral institutional reporting in most months: government actions and statements attributed to officials, positive and negative developments reported evenly. In one month the reading was broadly favourable with some critical distance. Criticism that appears targets specific officials or companies, not the country. No other country or person has enough headlines for a stance reading. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from March 2026 to June 2026.
Each row is an entity (country or person) this outlet covers regularly. Each cell shows the outlet's stance toward that entity in that month — colour from red (hostile) to green (supportive), opacity from headline volume. Click a column header or any cell to open that month's full report.
Headlines per month for each top entity. Look for spikes — entities that suddenly dominate coverage and then fade. Click any tile to open the peak month.
LRT English is run by Lietuvos nacionalinis radijas ir televizija (LRT), Lithuania's public broadcaster, which is established by law and funded largely from the state budget.
The Baltic states dominate by a wide margin, followed by Russia, the United States, Belarus, the European Union and Ukraine, with NATO and the Visegrad Group further down. Politics and security lead, and diplomacy is the biggest single subject.
