A working group established by the Lithuanian Parliament has reached a consensus on the need for improved governance of Lithuania's national radio and television broadcaster, LRT. The key decision made by the group is to establish a new board that will oversee the operations and management of LRT. This move aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the management of public broadcasting in Lithuania.

The establishment of the new governance board is expected to bring about significant changes in the operational structure of LRT. By having a dedicated board, the group believes that the national broadcaster will be better positioned to address the challenges it faces, including financial sustainability and the need for independence from political influence. This reform reflects a growing recognition of the importance of maintaining a robust and independent public media landscape in Lithuania.

The decision to create this board is also part of a broader trend in Europe where numerous countries are seeking to reform their public broadcasting systems to ensure greater transparency and accountability. As Lithuania moves forward with this initiative, it will be closely watched by other nations, as the effectiveness of such reforms may have implications for media governance and the preservation of journalistic independence across the region.
