    DescriptionIn this candid and emotion-filled episode of Media & Society, we talk to Julia Bali, Editor-in-Chief of Estonia’s Radio 4 (ERR), and Anna Stroja, Editor-in-Chief of Latvian Radio 4, about working at the crossroads of language, policy, and public trust. In Latvia, television broadcasts in Russian are no longer available in linear transmission as of 2025, and radio broadcasts will end in 2026, while Estonia continues to invest in Russian-language media and considers it a critical aspect of national security and integration. What does that mean for audiences who rely on radio, for national security, and for the journalists themselves?
