The goal of the founders of the website was to reach the widest possible readership and therefore they took an extremely challenging task – issue a website in four languages, i.e. Polish, Lithuanian, Russian and English.
In Lithuania there are only two such media websites - L24 and Delfi.
In a month our website will be a member of the 'Polish Media in Lithuania' Association for already one year.
Highly symbolic and of great importance for the founders and journalists of L24.lt is the fact, that we started our website on April 7th - on Divine Mercy Sunday, the holiday that was established by Pope John Paul II in 2000.

Readers. Plans for the future.
The editorial team of L24.lt would like to thank all our honourable readers for the first year. We truly value and figure on your loyalty. Thanks to you L24 is growing every day.
A year ago we reported that the L24.lt website was initiated in order to enable as many people as possible to get free access to true and wide-ranking information. The purpose of the website is to exchange information with various environments and societies of multilingual and multicultural Lithuania in fields of politics, economy, sports, culture, religion and others. In our opinion, this task is realized consistently and fairly, although you - our readers, will make the most appropriate assessment.
We assure you that we will follow our chosen path; the wide readership makes us believe that what we do is right.
