Lietuvos rytas

Lietuvos rytas is the successor to the Soviet newspaper Komjaunimo tiesa. It is Lithuania's most influential daily newspaper. A liberal paper, it is owned by the Lietuvos rytas media group whose majority shareholders are the paper's editor-in-chief Gedvydas Vainauskas and the Big Group company. It has repeatedly been accused of allowing itself to be influenced by politicians and business interests.
