unimedia.info

UNIMEDIA, one of Moldova's pioneering and most influential news portals, was established in 2005 at unimedia.md. The platform was created by four people: Tudor Darie, Dumitru Ciorici, and brothers Vasile and Sergiu Gălușcă, through their company New Media Grup LLC.
The portal achieved recognition during the April 2009 protests against the Communist Party's parliamentary election victory. Through its continuous live coverage of these events, Unimedia emerged as one of Moldova's most-read news sources, maintaining this position for several years.
Throughout its history, Unimedia has undergone multiple changes in both ownership and editorial direction. In 2012, Dumitru Țira, then director of Publika TV and current founder of the Realitatea media group, acquired a 25 percent stake in New Media Grup LLC. While he considered purchasing an additional 45 percent, this plan never materialised. That same year, the four original founders registered the Unimedia brand under their new venture, Interact Media LLC, specifically created for the portal. The domain was also changed from Unimedia.md to Unimedia.info.
Early 2015 marked another transition as Interact Media LLC sold the portal to Miraza LLC, owned by journalist Cristian Jardan. At the time, Miraza LLC was also publishing Expresul, a regional newspaper serving the Ungheni, Călărași, and Nisporeni districts.
In 2019, journalist Olesea Banari acquired Miraza LLC and assumed the role of editor-in-chief at Unimedia. Today, the portal features various blogs, including a dedicated Political Blog section, providing a platform for politicians and political discourse.
