The Baltic Course was a pan-Baltic business magazine. Its editor-in-chief was Olga Pavuk.[1]

History

[edit]

The magazine was founded in 1996 by Latvian journalist Jānis Domburs [lv] and initially was published only in Russian. In 1998, Olga Pavuk joined the magazine as an assistant editor and The Baltic Course was launched in English in 2000. A year later, the magazine was bought by publishing house Preses nams, with Pavuk becoming the editor-in-chief of magazine's both language versions.[2]

in 2007, the magazine moved online and ceased to be published on paper. In January 2008, a website of business information and analytics about the Baltic States was launched in both English and Russian. After going online, the magazine reported having 70–100 thousand unique readers a month from all 213 world's countries. In 2020, 40% of the magazine's website visitors were from the U.S., about 30% came from Latvia, 8% – from Russia, and 4% from both Estonia and Lithuania.[2]

In 1 January 2021, the magazine stopped publishing new articles, while vowing to continue keeping its website and archive of previous articles online.[2]
