https://www.aktualne.cz
Aktuálně.cz is a media organisation publishing daily news from the Czech Republic and globally.
The digital media outlet describes itself as "the first purely online news medium in the Czech Republic", which is not supported by any traditional print, television, or radio media.
Founded in 2005 by Jakub Unger and Sabina Slonková, Aktuálně.cz started publishing in November 2005 as part of Centrum.cz, an email provider and portal.
In 2021, it was bought by the publishing house Economia, a.s. owned by businessman Zdeněk Bakala. It is one of the company's most successful titles, whose portfolio includes Hospodářské noviny and the Centrum.cz portal.
Aktuálně.cz has a separate newsroom and does not share the information published with the other outlets of Economia.
