History and profile

edit

Hospodárske noviny was established in 1993 and is based in Bratislava.[2] The paper is issued by Eco Press, a subsidiary of German-American firm Economia and a member of the Handelsblatt group. It is a business newspaper which has a liberal economical stance.[2]

Hospodárske noviny is published in broadsheet format.[3] In 2006 the newspaper went through a massive relaunch change, which resulted in an increase in sales.[citation needed] The current editor-in-chief is Peter Vavro.

In fall 2007, HN launched a lifestyle supplement Prečo nie?! (English: Why not?!). As of 2013 the supplement was wildly unsuccessful, selling less than a hundred copies since its initial release.

Hospodárske noviny had a circulation of 18,000 copies both in 2006 and in 2008. The 2010 circulation of the paper was 17,300 copies.[2] In 2011 the circulation was 17,000 copies. Its readership was at 3 percent in 2013.[4]
