The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network has launched a new daily news site at www.BalkanInsight.com. The site combines BIRN’s regular investigative and analytic reports with daily news coverage in nine countries in the Balkans.

The decision to launch an ambitious new site was an obvious next step for BIRIN, given the high level of success of its weekly newsletter, the Balkan Insight. The newsletter had over 15,000 subscribers to its English edition and about 5,000 subscribers to the Albanian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and Macedonian editions. While the new Balkan Insight site continues to provide in-depth analysis and regional political news, it has expanded to include more business news, lifestyle features and newsy blogs.

BIRN is a project of the Institute for War & Peace Reporting that strives for in-depth analytical and investigative journalism on complex political, economic and social themes.
