History

[edit]

The website was founded in October 1999 by a group of financial journalists under the name RevistaPresei.ro and contained articles from outside sources put together as a press review. It was rebranded as HotNews.ro in 2005.

As of February 2019, the site has around 250,000–300,000 unique users daily, more than 3 million monthly unique visitors, and around 30 million monthly page views, according to stats measured by the Romanian BRAT/SATI.[2]

Located in Bucharest, the company employed more than 30 journalists in 2018. Its advertising sales for 2007 stood between €600,000 and €700,000.[3]
