Šauksmas (in English: Outcry) is a news media project from the university students' movement of the same name. It was launched as a Facebook group in 2019 and later, in the same year, as a website.

Šauksmas publishes multimedia articles, a podcast, and, more recently, a print magazine.

Since the spring of 2022, the magazine has expanded its online presence to a print edition, which is published twice a year. The magazine publishes investigations and analyses of local and international trends and issues relevant to Lithuanian young adults and students. The student collective published the fourth print issue of the Šauksmas magazine in late 2023.

The website is financed through donations from the readership and through membership fees of the magazine's publishing society. The team is currently exploring both print and digital subscription models.
