Jarmo is an LGBTQ+ news platform that publishes daily news and commentaries in the Lithuanian language. It produces current news, commentaries, interviews, investigations, and analyses on social issues. It also has a specific section for publishing stories related to religion.

Its mission is to cover LGBTQ+ topics and stories, and present them in an accessible way for the widest audiences.

Currently, the team works on a voluntary basis and is still figuring out the outlet's business model, exploring how to obtain financial support in order to be sustainable.
