Latvian Radio 1 is now offering a daily five-minute news summary broadcast at 9:00 PM local time. The program, titled “Ziņas vieglajā valodā” (News in Simple Language), presents the day’s key news stories using simplified language. This initiative aims to make news more accessible to a broader audience, including those with cognitive disabilities or those learning Latvian as a second language. The broadcasts focus on delivering essential information in a clear and concise manner. Latvian Radio intends the program to promote greater civic engagement by ensuring more people can understand current events. The service began on June 18th, 2026, and will be a regular feature of the station’s evening programming. It represents a commitment to inclusive journalism within the Latvian media landscape.
