Jalta.nl (or simply Jalta) is a Dutch right-wing online political analysis, news, and opinion platform, launched on 18 September 2014. Jalta.nl was founded in 2014 by Joshua Livestro and Annabel Nanninga with the goal of mounting "a forward defence of the West's values against Putin and Erdogan's dictatorial sophism and the open contempt of fundamentalists" (of IS). The name Jalta refers to the Yalta Conference (February 1945), where the conflicting interests of West and East were at play. In September 2015, Boudewijn Geels from Villamedia Magazine wrote that the political climate was favorable for a right-wing blog, but that Jalta (which includes "freethinkers who aren't necessarily 'right-wing' writers") could barely take advantage of this opportunity because of its business model; the paywall prevented the attraction of many potential readers. In April 2015, Bert Brussen from ThePostOnline (TPO), too, said that, in the long term, "I don't think paywall sites like Jalta and De Correspondent are business models", although Geels remarked it did work in the latter case, and thus was possible. In June 2016, the staff decided to switch from a paywall model to a donator model using the Stichting Jalta. With six members, the core staff was smaller than it was during its launch, and it was supported by 20 to 21 employees, who published an average of 2 to 3 new articles a day at that time.
