Baltic News Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baltic News Service (BNS) is the largest news agency operating in the Baltic states. Founded in April, 1990, by a group of students, it sought to inform foreign correspondents in Moscow of developments in the Baltic states' struggles for independence from the Soviet Union. Within a few months, it had been recognized by numerous Western media sources.
Today, BNS is a holding company for separate organizations in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. BNS is wholly owned by Alma Media, a Finnish media group.
BNS disseminates news in five languages via the internet and by other means. Subscribers include media, financial, industrial, and government institutions in the Baltic states. BNS also collaborates with Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and Interfax.
