Advertising in Latvia is regulated by the Advertising Law, which is available in English.  

Advertising may be conducted freely in any print or electronic media.  The leading Latvian-language daily newspapers are "Diena," "Latvijas Avize," and "Neatkariga Rita Avize."  The leading business newspaper is "Dienas Bizness," published in Latvian.  Many Latvians, especially youth, receive much of their information online through Twitter, Draugiem.lv (Latvia’s homegrown version of Facebook), and Facebook, as well as from popular online portals like Delfi.lv and TVNet.lv.  There are also many local and niche newspapers and magazines.

All information about official tenders and laws is published in the Latvian government website, "Latvijas Vestnesis.” The only English-language print media in Latvia is the “Baltic Times”.
