Styria Planning a New Daily in Slovenia

Austrian media company Styria Media International AG said on Tuesday it had signed up Goran Novkovic, deputy editor-in-chief of the business daily Finance, who will be put in charge of a new tabloid daily in Slovenia.

"It is a great privilege for us to sign up an experienced and respected person like Goran Novkovic," Styria chairman Klaus Schweighofer was quoted as saying in a press release.
Finance wrote two weeks ago that the Graz-based company was planning to release a new paper next year. It will reportedly be modeled on the successful Croatian tabloid 24-sata.
In Slovenia Styria owns the free weekly Zurnal and is the co-owner (25.7%) of publisher Dnevnik, which publishes the daily Dnevnik and the tabloids Nedeljski Dnevnik, Hopla and Direkt.
Moreover, Styria owns 40% of the internet company Megaklik, which operates Slovenia's most popular auction site, www.bolha.com, and the event guide www.napovednik.com.
Finance also reported in early February that the company was interested in acquiring internet firm Noviforum, which runs localised search engines in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia.
