It's sad, but true that Lithuanian cultural press (and culture in general) is marginalized and if we could imagine our country as a family, then cultural press would have a role of a step-daughter.
However, despite all those budged cuttings and shunning, people still continued their work and somehow all those magazines survived (precisely, survived, not thrived). Nevertheless, this year situation got even worse, and one of those cultural magazines ("Literature and Art") bravely decided to release a blank issue. I do hope that this bold statement will reach its destination: be it those who decide who gets the funding, or readers who might see this issue as a strong SOS.
