VilNews e-magazine has been online for just under 12 weeks but has, in all modesty, already become a tremendous success, connecting Lithuania-related people in virtually every single corner of the world..

We have now readers in 109 countries around the globe, we've had close to 60 000 visits and we have so far had 3.3 million article hits.

But perhaps even more important is that VilNews engages its readers in good communication with each other and with us in the newsroom in a way hardly seen before.

We do therefore believe that our success is very much due to our unique combination of daily news, social media (blogs, commentaries, discussions, information exchange) and a vast background material of historical and contemporary character.

If VilNews had been printed, we would have been a book of about 5,000 pages!

VilNews is simply a living, active medium that truly engages its readers in a whole new way, even by world standards, while also presenting a huge, unbiased information basis for opinions and comments from our readers. We believe this is the main reason for our success, and we think many media around the world will follow in our footsteps for the years to come.

We believe this is the way professional journalism and open, systematized dialogue will create the future of the media, as well as the way people are achieving true freedom of speech and participation in real peoples’ democracy.

Have your say!
