This comprehensive and undoubtedly unique book provides a detailed overview of the ownership of the Czech periodical press from 1989 to 2024, highlights the characteristic features of its development during the period in question, and clearly describes its status and structure at the beginning of 2025, taking into account the legislative context.
The publication is a significant source of information for both experts and the general public interested in developments on the contemporary Czech media scene. In a separate chapter, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal regulations concerning periodicals and their evolution during the period in question. An extensive attention is also devoted to the socioeconomic context of changes in the ownership of Czech periodicals. The main part of the work consists of chapters dealing with the ownership of periodicals, which provide a detailed overview of the evolution of ownership of Czech periodicals from 1989 to 2024 (divided into national daily newspapers, regional daily newspapers, regional periodicals with a longer frequency than daily, Sunday newspapers, and magazines), and the state of ownership of the Czech periodical press at the beginning of 2025, using the same classification.
The 86-page colour appendix contains tables that provide a concise and highly detailed summary of the information contained in the book, as well as a 40-page chronology of the Czech media from 1989 to 2024 in dates and a comprehensive index of names.
