Experimental site of well-known satirical weekly

Academia Catavencu started Facemcatavencu.ro [RO] (’WemakeCatavencu.ro’), an experimental site intended as the making-of of the magazine’s site, Catavencu.ro [RO], which is also to be launched soon. Catavencu.ro has not been redesigned in several years and offers most of its content on a per-pay basis. A source from Academia Catavencu told Comanescu.ro that the magazine’s site only has 200 to 300 subscribers, most of whom are from the Romanian diaspora.

Facemcatavencu.ro will be turned into an Internet club after Catavencu.ro’s relaunch.

Academia Catavencu is a popular Romanian political satirical weekly that sells between 40 and 50,000 copies per day. The publication has recently been taken over by Sorin Ovidiu Vintu, one of the controversial Romanian billionaires who got massively involved in the media market in 2006.
