The Most Reliable Media

The Lithuanian public broadcaster, Lithuanian Radio and Television (LRT), is the media group that is owned by the public.

The Lithuanian public broadcaster, Lithuanian Radio and Television (LRT), is the media group that is owned by the public. As a taxpayer-funded institution, LRT’s fundamental mission is to serve the public interest and the public’s right to trustworthy and objective information.

Lithuanian Radio and Television dates to 1926 when the first radio station started regular broadcasting from the then temporary capital of Lithuania, Kaunas. The television service has been broadcasting since 1957. Radio and television services are now operated from LRT’s headquarters in Vilnius.

LRT is visible and audible in the largest organisation of public broadcasters − the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

LRT maintains a high level of representation within the EBU governance structure. LRT reached its highest-ever number (five) of representatives on the EBU elected bodies (the EBU Executive Board, EBU committees and sub-committees).

LRT Director General Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė was re-elected for a third term on the EBU Executive Board in 2024.

Head of the LRT Radio Department, Giedrius Masalskis, and Head of the LRT Internet Department, Ričardas Baltaduonis, were re-elected for their third terms on the EBU Radio and Digital Committees in 2025.

LRT Deputy Director General Gytis Oganauskas was elected to the EBU Television Committee in 2025.

Deividas Grabauskas, Head of the LRT TV Technical Department, has been the LRT representative in the EBU Technical Committee since 2024.

TRUSTED JOURNALISM STANDARD

The updated LRT JTI self-assessment report is available here. LRT has held itself to the highest standards of integrity and credibility, that is why LRT joined the international Journalism Trust Initiative by Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans Frontières, RSF). It provides international standards and enables media outlets to apply these standards in their own practice.

The JTI standards were developed in 2019, following recommendations from the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), with the participation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Agence France Press and international experts – more than 120 media experts and organisations in total.

The JTI standards include a wide range of criteria, such as media organisation management, transparency of revenue sources, accuracy of journalistic content, source responsibility, accountability for adherence to journalistic principles and others. The JTI standards also require media organisations to ensure social guarantees for journalists, to have transparent recruitment guidelines, to ensure equal opportunities, to have a safety policy, and to fulfil other obligations to its employees.

Following LRT’s accession to the JTI initiative, LRT has substantially updated its Editorial Policy and editorial processes, principles and rules, as well as other documents governing LRT staff management and other LRT activities in line with the JTI standards.

The updated LRT Editorial Policy is not just a handbook of rules that our journalists are bound to. The document is accessible to the public and allows our viewers, listeners and readers to evaluate LRT’s work based on our own commitments, and for us to be accountable to our audiences.

LRT’s compliance with the JTI standards of transparency, professionalism and accountability was independently assessed by the international audit firm Deloitte Asutralia in 2023.

To ensure LRT’s continued compliance with JTI standards, maintain consistent updates and assessments of its operational processes and documentation, and address external audit recommendations to conduct a JTI media assessment every two years, LRT initiated a re-assessment of its compliance with international standards of trustworthy journalism under the JTI program in 2025. This assessment will be carried out by an external audit company.

Currently, more than 20The updated LRT JTI self-assessment report is available here.00 media outlets around the world are participating in the Journalism Trust Initiative at various stages of the process, with Public Service Media such as France Télévisions, RTE News in Ireland, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SWI, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation CBC News/Radio-Canada JTI certified. The initiative proposes a multi-stage programme. Participants are first asked to assess their compliance with the standards by answering a specific questionnaire. Those who wish can choose to make their results public. In the final stage, at the request of the media outlet, its compliance with the JTI indicators is assessed and certified by an international auditing company.
