Deník N

Deník N is a Czech independent daily newspaper founded in 2018. The digital medium newspaper is based primarily on paid content, and is also published in print on weekdays and on Fridays with a weekend supplement.^[1] The Czech Deník N was modeled after the Slovak Denník N, whose publisher provided know-how and holds a third of the shares of N media a.s., which publishes Deník N.

According to the media credibility rating, which is compiled annually by the Independent Journalism Foundation, Deník N is among the highest-quality Czech media with the highest rating.^[2]

Deník N has drawn attention to a number of political cases, such as the 2025 Czech government bitcoin case, the case of hateful posts on social networks by Filip Turek, and a number of cases of sexual harassment and violence, including the case of Dominik Feri. Deník N and its authors have received more than two dozen awards for their work.

The first information about the creation of the Czech Deník N appeared in public in June 2018, then under the working title Nový deník.^[3][4]

According to the director of the publishing house N Media a. s. Ján Simkanič, the idea for the project was born from the management of the Slovak Denník N and several founders of the Endowment Fund for Independent Journalism. In mid-October 2018, a change from the working title to Denník N was announced.^[5] According to Ján Simkanič, the letter "N" in the title can mean "new" or "independent".^[6]

Since September 2025, Deník N has established cooperation with The New York Times and offers its readers access to the newspaper's subscription as part of their subscription, including their podcast offering, led by The Daily, and to the sports news The Athletic.^[7]
