Telegram is a leading public interest and investigative digital media outlet in Croatia, published by Telegram Media Group.
Founded in 2015, Telegram.hr was established with the aim of combining commercial sustainability with strong editorial independence and high journalistic standards. It covers politics, the economy, science, and culture, and is particularly recognized for its long-form reporting and investigative journalism. In 2021, Telegram.hr became one of the first digital media outlets in Croatia to introduce a subscription-based model.

The organization employs a team of 55 professionals, including journalists, editors, developers, designers, and advertising sales specialists.
Telegram’s journalism and marketing campaigns have received numerous national journalism and marketing awards. In 2023, the Dutch-based pooled fund Pluralis invested in Telegram, becoming a minority shareholder.
