The Birth of dp.ru
The leading news website dp.ru was born in 1997 as a subsidiary of the business newspaper "Delovoy Peterburg" ("Business Petersburg"). Initially, it served as an online mirror of the newspaper, but in 2003, dp.ru established its independent editorial team, marking its transition into a standalone entity.
A New Era
The year 2006 proved to be a turning point for dp.ru. Its Swedish publisher, Bonnier Group, gave the website the green light to expand beyond its St. Petersburg roots and launch in Moscow.
Key Contributors
Two individuals played pivotal roles in shaping the development of dp.ru: Oleg Tretyakov, the former editor-in-chief of "Delovoy Peterburg," and Polina Kozlovskaya, who nurtured the website's growth from 2003 to 2006.
Ownership and Identity
dp.ru is owned by Bonnier Business Press, a fully-owned subsidiary of Bonnier Group. Despite its association with "Delovoy Peterburg," the website emphasizes its unique identity in the Russian digital landscape.
Editorial Mission and Influences
dp.ru's mission is to provide readers with valuable information that empowers them to succeed. The website also aims to foster a sense of community and engagement. The design and philosophy of dp.ru draw inspiration from the Swedish website di.se, another Bonnier Group publication.
Audience and Interaction
dp.ru's target audience consists of business professionals and individuals seeking reliable news and analysis. The website encourages reader participation through interactive features such as comments and open forums.
Awards and Recognition
dp.ru has received recognition for its excellence, including the prestigious Runet Prize in the "Culture and Mass Communications" category.
Competition and Market Trends
dp.ru competes with established news websites such as rbc.ru, gazeta.ru, and lenta.ru. However, the website believes that the digital news landscape is constantly evolving, creating opportunities for new players.
Growth and Expansion
dp.ru employs approximately 25 people, distributed between its St. Petersburg and Moscow offices. The website plans to expand its team and services in the future.
Innovation and Future Plans
dp.ru is committed to innovation, including the development of interactive tools, mobile content delivery, and personalized services. The website aims to become a leading and profitable news resource in Russia.
