About Delfi

News Portal Established source

Delfi was established in 1999 by the Estonian company MicroLink and was acquired in 2007 by the Estonian media group Ekspress Grupp, which owns 100% of its shares. UAB Delfi, the publisher of the website, is a subsidiary of Ekspress Grupp, and its revenue is generated through advertisements and subscriptions.

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates Delfi as Right-Center biased due to editorial positions that slightly favor the right on social issues, sometimes using loaded words to support conservative causes. While MBFC gives Delfi an overall 'High Credibility' rating, it notes that reporting is 'Mostly Factual' due to poor sourcing techniques, such as hyperlinks leading to general topic pages rather than specific reports.

Šių metų Valstybės Dūmos rinkimai yra pirmieji po plataus masto karo pradžios ir Kremliui tenka spręsti sudėtingą dilemą. Viena vertus, valdžioje būtina turėti kare dalyvavusių veteranų, kad būtų įtvirtintas jų kaip naujojo valstybės elito įvaizdis. Kita vertus, jiems negalima leisti tapti savarankiška politine jėga.)
