Cotidianul is a Romanian online newspaper. Founded by Ion Raţiu, it published its first issue on May 10, 1991 and was the first privately held newspaper in Romania following the Romanian Revolution of 1989.[1] It ceased print publication in December 2009 due to financial difficulties, but remains active as an online news source.[1] As a newspaper, it was published Monday to Saturday in Berliner format. The owners announced the closure was temporary due to insolvency, but no buyers had been found.[2][3][4][5][6]

Currently, Cotidianul is owned by Academia Caţavencu (50%+1 of the shares) and Regent House (50%), the latter of owned by the Raţiu family and Călin Husar.[citation needed]
