Sofia News Agency, Darik News launch joint online project

Bulgaria's leading online media Sofia News Agency and Darik News pooled efforts in a joint project, called DarikWeb, Inc.

The company will be officially presented on September 13 at Radisson hotel, Sofia, 11 am by Maxim Behar, publisher of Sofia News Agency, and Radosvet Radev, owner of Darik News and private national radio broadcaster Darik.

DarikWeb, Inc. sets out to be the leader in Bulgaria's online market and plans to offer a series of sites to diversify the industry.

Both Sofia News Agency (http://www.novinite.com), the biggest English language news provider in Bulgaria, and Darik News (http://www.darik.net ), the leading Bulgarian-language online media, have a long history behind them and thousands of committed readers. After the merger they will offer real time news pieces in Bulgarian and English on similar topics.

In providing diverse and full information about the events in the country, the sites will rely on Sofia Photo Agency, one of the biggest photo agencies in the country, featuring more than 45,000 pictures of key events.

DarikWeb, Inc. was born after Darik News acquired 51% stake in Novinite OOD. Lyudmil Karzhilov and Milena Trapcheva have been appointed Managing Directors of the company.
