agora.md

The Agora.md portal was launched on February 18, 2014, by Interact Media LLC, a company founded by four individuals - Tudor Darie, Dumitru Ciorici, and brothers Sergiu and Vasile Galușca. Over the years, Interact Media has undergone several organizational restructurings. In November 2021, the company's shareholding changed when Vasile and Sergiu Galușca acquired the shares held by Tudor Darie and Dumitru Ciorici, becoming majority shareholders. Additionally, key management figures - editor-in-chief Victoria Dumbravă (Amarandei) and company director Irina Ghelbur - became associates, each acquiring a 10% stake in the company's share capital. In 2023, Interact Media LLC established an operational board comprising associates Vasile Galușca, Irina Ghelbur, Victoria Amarandei, editor-in-chief Anastasia Antoceanu, and a community member.
At its launch, Agora.md set out to become Moldova's leading business website. Since then, the portal has diversified its content offerings. Today, the site features news, analysis, opinion pieces, and podcasts. Agora.md has developed a membership platform, becoming the first media institution in Moldova to create such a community.
The Agora.md portal and its journalists have received innovation awards at the Journalists of the Year Gala organized by the Independent Journalism Centre in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023.
