Međimurske Novine

What Međimurske Novine does

Međimurske Novine is a regional Croatian news media company headquartered in Čakovec that operates a weekly print newspaper ("tjednik") alongside a digital news portal at mnovine.hr, serving residents and businesses of Međimurje County. Its editorial coverage spans local politics, crime, sports (including a deep taxonomy of regional sport subcategories), lifestyle, gastro, culture, and national/international news, supplemented by a roster of named local columnists and user-submitted content channels for classifieds, obituaries, job postings, and event announcements.

The product surface is a unified news-and-services offering: a WordPress-based content portal, a print weekly distributed to subscribers and newsstands, an Issuu-hosted electronic edition, and social media distribution across Facebook (51,240 followers), Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. The site also embeds local utility features such as duty-doctor and on-call-veterinarian listings, working-Sunday calendars, and civil registry information. There is no disclosed mobile application and no AI/ML technology stack.

The business model combines print subscription revenue, local SMB and institutional advertising, free and paid classifieds, event sponsorships (e.g., Porcijunkulovo), and promotional content. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is obtained via direct contact. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, funding, or M&A history, employs 11-50 people, and shows no management team in the source data, making it a small, locally rooted media operator with limited public financial transparency.
