Denník N
Denník N is an independent Slovak daily newspaper and digital news outlet founded in 2015 in Bratislava. It is regarded as one of the most influential independent media organizations in Slovakia, with a business model built primarily on reader subscriptions.
The paper was established in January 2015 by a group of journalists who left the daily SME after a major stake in its publisher was acquired by an investment group with links to the financial conglomerate Penta.
In 2014, the Namav, a subject subvented by the Penta Investments group, announced the purchase of Petit Press, the publisher of the newspaper. In reaction, a major part of the editorial board, including the editor-in-chief, announced their resignation. "We are leaving SME and we will try to create a new medium that no one will suspect that it serves someone other than the readers", stated Matúš Kostolný, the departing editor-in-chief.
The founders positioned Denník N as a newsroom independent of oligarchic and political influence, focusing on investigative and explanatory journalism. In subsequent years, subscription growth accelerated; by 2024, Denník N reported more than 70,000 paying readers. A bold marketing campaign in 2025 added 10,000 new subscribers within four days.
Denník N publishes a daily print edition on weekdays, alongside a 24/7 digital platform with articles, newsletters, podcasts, and video.
As of 2024, Denník N had a team of 130 people and 70,000 paid subscribers.
The company runs a book-publishing division, which has released over 150 titles, including works by Slovak and international authors. The organization has also developed the Readers Engagement and Monetization Platform (REMP), an open-source suite of tools designed to support digital subscription and donation models. REMP is used by publishers across Europe, Africa, and Asia.
In 2018, Denník N co-founded Deník N, an independent daily in the Czech Republic, in cooperation with local investors. In 2021, it acquired Hiking.sk, a Slovak online platform dedicated to hiking and outdoor activities. In 2022, it launched Napunk, a Hungarian-language news portal serving Slovakia’s Hungarian minority. Since 2023, the company has been a minority shareholder in the Czech weekly Respekt, the feminist magazine Heroine, and the IT company FatChilli.
