15min

15min (Lithuanian: Penkiolika minučių) is one of the largest news websites in Lithuania, attracting over one million unique users per month.

Founded on 1 September 2005, 15min started as a daily newspaper distributed freely across Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda through various channels, including in public transport, streets, and some cafés.

A strategic decision was made to completely discontinue the printed publication and commit exclusively to digital publishing.

[7] 15min began functioning without an editor-in-chief in April 2015, entrusting department heads and editors with more managerial responsibility.

"[citation needed] On 25 September 2020, the workers union "Independent 15min Editorial Staff" was formed, and the journalists from the Investigative Department resigned from their positions.

"[citation needed] In December 2023, "4 Bees" acquired 60% of JSC "15min" and 100% of its subsidiary UAB "BNS" shares from AS "Postimees Grupp".
