Latvian Radio 1 is increasing news accessibility with a new initiative, “Ziņas vieglajā valodā” (News in Simple Language). This program broadcasts a five-minute daily news summary every evening at 9:00 PM. The key feature is the use of simplified language, designed to reach a broader audience. This includes individuals learning Latvian, those with cognitive disabilities, and anyone who prefers easily understandable news. The broadcasts aim to ensure important current events are accessible to everyone. It represents a commitment to inclusive journalism within Latvia's public broadcasting system. The program began broadcasting on August 6th, 2026.
