This episode explores the remarkable evolution of Nordic and Baltic media in New York, a journey spanning over 150 years. Beginning with 19th-century immigrant newspapers published in native languages, which served as vital lifelines connecting communities to their homelands, we examine how these publications navigated challenges like assimilation and generational language gaps. The discussion highlights their crucial role during World War II as uncensored news sources from occupied countries and the emergence of post-war Baltic refugee publications focused on political advocacy and cultural continuity. We trace the shift away from print as communities assimilated and digital technology rose, leading to a new era where platforms like The Northern Voices celebrate hybrid identities, reach a global audience via social media, and utilize formats like podcasts to connect the vibrant diaspora today.From Immigrant Ink to Online Innovation—The Journey of Nordic and Baltic Media in New York - The Northern Voices
