Ovtar24.si, an online media platform, was established on May 3, 2021, coinciding with World Press Freedom Day, to address the growing journalistic void in Slovenske gorice, a region in northeastern Slovenia with approximately 30,000 residents.

Our mission is to instill self-assurance, critical thinking, literacy, and positivity in our community. Our logo features the name "Ovtar," representing a traditional (local) guardian of the vineyards, symbolizing protection, integrity, and responsibility. This embodies our role as "Ovtar24.si" in safeguarding news, information, objectivity, and reliability.
