NEXTA

NEXTA is a Belarusian media organization renowned for its coverage of the fight against the Lukashenko dictatorship. Since its inception in February 2022, NEXTA has consistently provided Belarusian audiences with up-to-the-minute news, in-depth investigations, and leaked information from within the Belarusian power structures. Their Patreon page, with 214 total members (72 paid), reflects a dedicated community supporting their work. Generating an estimated $2277 in revenue, NEXTA's impact extends beyond its relatively modest subscriber base, demonstrating a significant influence within the Belarusian information landscape. The platform’s unique value lies in its provision of alternative news and information unavailable through mainstream Belarusian media, offering a critical counter-narrative to the official government line. NEXTA’s work is crucial in providing transparency and holding those in power accountable in a context of severe political repression.
