LETA is the main Latvian information agency. Its headquarters are in Riga. == History == It was founded as ''Latopress'' in 1919, soon after Latvia became independent; the name was changed to ''LTA'' the next year when the wire service was subordinated to the Latvian Telegraph Agency. The name ''LETA'' was only used occasionally during the interwar period.() In 1940, when Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union, it became a subordinate agency of TASS, a status it would keep until Latvia regained independence in 1991. During the occupation of Latvia by Nazi Germany, LETA was subordinated to the German DNB news agency. From 1971 it was known as ''Latinform''. On 31 May 1990 the Latvian government restored the name LETA and the news agency's independence from TASS. In 1997 LETA was put up for privatisation by the Latvian state. On April 27, 2011 LETA website got defaced by unknown hacker the reason claiming to be commercially biased news sources. It was down for a few hours as was LETA side project "nozare.lv" and others.〔http://www.db.lv/citas-zinas/hakeri-uzlauzusi-leta-majaslapu-238460〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LETA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
