January 9, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The news and analysis website Plan B<\/a><\/em> has asked its readers for financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We did not want to bother you, our readers, until the very end,” it said. “But the situation is such that we need your financial support to continue to tell you honestly and professionally about what is going on in Belarus this year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It advised potential donors to take security precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volha \u0141ojka, formerly a senior editor at a popular news portal and a political prisoner, launched the Plan B project in June 2023. A month later, a district court in Minsk declared its website, logo, and social media “extremist content.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last December, another independent media outlet, Reform.by<\/em>, asked readers for donations and raised \u20ac17,000 in two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reform.by editor in chief Fiodar Pa\u016dlu\u010denka told Pozirk<\/em> that the website was on the verge of closure amid financial constraints, after failing to raise enough funds from European donors. Donors\u2019 approach to supporting journalists could lead to the destruction of Belarusian media in exile, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
