It was launched in May 1992 and is published once a week on Thursdays.[1][2] A Russian-language version of the paper (Латгалес Лайкс) is also issued separately, and a Latgalian supplement called Latgalīšu Gazeta (Latgalian Gazette) has been issued since at least 2019.[3]

The paper personifies regional identity-building features, coming closer to the work of style of the national newspapers.[4]
