Its first issue was published on December 29, 1909, and it was issued every week until July 11, 1915.[1] The newspaper was printed in black and white and its main emphasis was Lithuanian politics, economics, literature and the social life of notable Lithuanian nationals living abroad.[1] The newspaper was liberal, but nationalist (pro-Lithuanian) and anti-communist in political ideology.[2]
The most distinguished contributors of Rygos naujenos were Tadas Balanda; Zigmas Gaidamavičius (poet); Konstantinas Jasiukaitis (writer); Jonas Krikščiūnas (poet); Kazys Puida (writer); Ona Pleirytė (writer); Balys Sruoga (writer); Juozas Petrulis (historian) and Kostas Stiklius (journalist).
