360tka (also styled 360°) is a Slovak video-only news portal. It was started by Michal Kovačič.[1][2][3] Its primary focus is news and investigative reporting with an emphasis on politics and related socio-economic issues. 360tka publishes newsreels, in-depth interviews, and moderated discussions.[4] Occasional live moderated discussions are hosted at Kácečko.[5][6][7]
The portal went live on November 17, 2024.[8] Its first video segment was a moderated discussion with Milan Kňažko, sk:Václav Moravec, and sk:Fero Joke.[9] Ahead of its launch, 360tka raised 594,000 euros from 16,470 donors and supporters through a cs:Donio crowdsourcing campaign.[10] 360tka has ten employees, and its newsroom comprises several veteran reporters.[11][12][13] The portal is subscription-supported.[14]
Reception
360tka was ranked #6 among Slovak Apple news podcasts and #16 among all Slovak podcasts in December 2025.[15]
Notable reporting
In April 2025, 360tka uncovered potential misappropriation of EU funds. This issue was picked up by mainstream media in Slovakia and by EU regulators.[16] In February 2025, 360tka published the results of a poll it commissioned through the Slovak agency Focus that ranked leading political figures by trustworthiness. This report was syndicated both in and outside of Slovakia.[17] In June 2025, 360tka published the results of another poll it commissioned, which projected Progressive Slovakia as the most likely winner if a snap election were held that month. The news story was picked up by TASR and syndicated by several news outlets.[18]
