Czechoslovakian media and the European dimensions of the Prague Spring. A case study on Literárky

Abstract

This article explores the Prague Spring and its European context, focusing on the journal Literárni Listy. Firstly, I outline the situation for the press and censorship of the media before 1968 in Czechoslovakia. Secondly, I show the changes and opportunities brought about by the Prague Spring. Thirdly, using examples of some articles from Literárni Listy I try to show not just a particularly Czech, but the European context of journalism of that time.
