development

In 2005, Agora published another daily newspaper, Nowy Dzień , in response to the successful launch of the tabloid Fakt (Axel Springer Verlag) . However, this title had to be discontinued after a few months due to a lack of success in the reader and advertising market.

In June 2007 a company was founded with the television producer ATM to produce video content for the Internet. In the same year Agora-Ukraina was founded to operate as a publishing house and on the Internet in Ukraine.
