https://ex-press.live/
Ex-press.by is a media outlet focused on the Belarusian towns of Barisau and Zhodino, which have a combined population of approximately 220,000 people.
It aims to be the first to break local news; but it also states its priorities are accuracy and editorial balance. Its reporting includes elements of participatory and community-driven journalism; but the website’s team also aims to publish at least 20 pieces of original content a day.
Apart from local and regional news (both Barisau and Zhodino are within the region of Minsk), the media outlet also covers international events with a regional angle whenever possible.
Ex-press.by also publishes local adverts and classifieds.
