What Delo, d.d. does

Delo, d.d. is the holding entity for the Delo media group in Slovenia, with operating subsidiary Delo mediji d.o.o. publishing Slovenske novice — one of Slovenia's major daily newspapers, operating continuously since 1992. The portfolio centres on a flagship Slovenian news portal (slovenskenovice.delo.si) supplemented by a multi-platform distribution stack: native iOS and Android applications, a daily email newsletter, printed and digital PDF editions sold through its own e-commerce storefront (trgovina.delo.si), podcasting via ŠOKkast, and active social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Around the core news brand the group runs a portfolio of vertical sub-brands covering lifestyle (Ona, Ona plus), entertainment and celebrity (Suzy, Bulvar), summer lifestyle (Polet), Sunday news (Nedeljske novice), and culinary content (Odprta kuhinja), plus crosswords, Sudoku, and horoscopes.

The company is currently executing a comprehensive digital transformation under the EU co-financed Print2Digital project (2023, total value ~3.85M EUR with ~0.60M EUR from NextGenerationEU), built with SME consortium partners Pareto d.o.o. and BI-CALCULUS d.o.o. The programme covers unified digital identity, editorial-process automation, advanced photo and video platforms, VR multimedia, a 360-degree customer view, youth and senior segment solutions, and print-run optimization. The Krambergerjev sklad charitable fund, operated in partnership with Rdeči križ Slovenije since 1992, has directed nearly 1 million euros to over 360 families and serves as a community-engagement asset for the brand.

Monetization combines consumer subscription packages (digital and combined print+digital bundles), a freemium article model with Premium paid content, retail newsstand and home-delivery print sales, and direct B2B advertising sales via a dedicated bookings channel. The company is privately held under parent Delo d.o.o. as a Slovenian d.o.o. (limited liability company), with no public listing. Customer base is the Slovenian mass-market general public; no named enterprise anchor customers or disclosed revenue figures appear in the available source material.
