“Utrinski Vesnik, a leading newspaper in Macedonia”?! Leading in low circulation or what? Please elaborate.

In fact, that was stated by the author of these interviews, in his original post, and i can only guess that it is said in regard of the online edition of Utrinski Vesnik

Anonimus, elaborate your remark, please. Utrinski vesnik is not a tabloid, but a serious daily, and the circulation is satisfactory due to the target audience. Please check sitemeter on the site for the numbers for the online edition (banner on the left bottom of http://www.utrinski.com.mk ) or http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s19utrinski

As Darko has explained above, he only quoted from me – and it’s true that I know little, if anything, about the Macedonian newspaper market. They do, as Zoran points out, have impressive site statistics and the paper itself appears to be professional. I can’t, of course, read a word of it so I’ll let you decide for yourselves whether it’s a quality product or not.
