New open access journal article: Re-Evaluating the Political Press
The article "Re-Evaluating the Political Press: A Case Study on Political, Economic and Journalistic Functioning of the Inter-War Czechoslovak Party-press Newspaper Národní listy, and its Publishing Company the Prague Stock Printery (PAT)", authored by Vlaďka Kubíčková and Nico Carpentier, has been published by OBS - Observatorio (vol. 10, issue 2, pp. 1-29).
The article was written within the framework of the Joint Writing Seminar at Charles University in Prague, coordinated by Nico Carpentier.
"Re-Evaluating the Political Press" attempts to re-assess the often negative evaluations of the political press, through a detailed analysis of a case study from inter-war Czechoslovakia, the newspaper Národní listy, and its publishing company the Prague Stock Printery (PAT), which were affiliated to the National Democratic Party. The analysis is theoretically framed by a discussion of notions of party-press parallelism and political parallelism, and how these political models are evaluated within the contemporary literature.
