Barents Observer

The Independent Barents Observer is a non-profit stock company fully own by the reporters. No regional or national authority have owner interests in the company, nor influence on the newsmaking. The newsdesk is located in Kirkenes, the Norwegian Arctic town located just few kilometres from the borders to Russia and Finland. The Independent Barents Observer publishes in English and Russian. Additionally, we are playing with the idea of adding Chinese language, of which we have launched a pilot-version.
