Denník N is a Slovak daily newspaper and a news website which was founded by the former members of the editorial board of Sme in 2014.

In 2014, the Namav, a subject subvented by the Penta Investments group, announced the purchase of Petit Press, the publisher of the newspaper.

"We are leaving SME and we will try to create a new medium that no one will suspect that it serves someone other than the readers", stated Matúš Kostolný, the departing editor-in-chief.

[2] Denník N published Threema chat logs of the Slovak businessman Marián Kočner in March 2019, which prove that he was able to pursue his far-reaching criminal business for years with the toleration or active assistance of many Slovak politicians, prosecutors and judges.

Against Kočner is determined as the alleged commissioner of the murder of the investigative journalists Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová.
