N1 Slovenija

What N1 Slovenija does

N1 Slovenija is a Slovenian digital news portal and the national branch of the regional N1 news network. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Ljubljana, the company publishes free-to-access multimedia journalism spanning politics, world events, crime, culture, sports, business, lifestyle, and health. The portal operates as a CNN international partner and is a member of United Media, the regional media group that runs sister N1 outlets in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The site is offered in Slovenian and serves the Slovenian-speaking general public seeking independent news with international perspective.

The platform is organized across multiple content verticals and sub-brands, including a main news section, Sportklub for sports coverage, Forbes Slovenija for business and economy content under a Forbes licensing arrangement, N1 Studio and N1 Video for video journalism, an N1 Podcast offering interviews and analysis hosted by Suzana Lovec, a Magazin lifestyle section, a Zdravje vertical anchored by health expert Alenka Kesar, and a Poglobljeno section for long-form investigative reporting. Distribution spans the n1info.si website, dedicated YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, and RSS channels. Underlying technology is a standard web-based CMS with video streaming, podcast hosting, and social media integration.

N1 Slovenija generates revenue through advertising, with no subscription or paywall structure in place. The company employs approximately 18 people and operates exclusively in the Slovenian market. While the parent group United Media provides shared editorial standards and CNN affiliation lends international credibility, the ownership structure, investor composition, and any financial disclosures were not made available in source data.
