The Vladivostok News is the Russian Far East’s only English-language newspaper. The paper was launched in April 1992 by Vladivostok Novosti, which publishes the Russian-language Vladivostok newspaper - the citys largest circulation daily. Since spring 1995 The Vladivostok News has been available on the World Wide Web - initially through Tribnet, the web site of The News Tribune in Tacoma,Washington. The two newspapers have been co-operating informally since 1993 when editors met through a Russian-American exchange program.

Since July 1996, the Vladivostok News has been on-line both in Tacoma and via its own web server in Vladivostok. The Vladivostok News is produced by a small team of Russians in Vladivostok, which makes it heavily dependable on translations from local Russian-language news media.
