Velká hospodářská krize a její odraz ve dvou spřízněných tiskovinách nakladatelství Melantrich (Pražský ilustrovaný zpravodaj; České slovo) v letech 1929-1934

This bachelor's thesis focuses on the analysis of the phenomenon of the Great Depression and its impact on publishing activities in Czechoslovakia during the period 1929-1934. The thesis examines the changes in economic indicators of the publishing house and tracks shifts in societal attitudes through a comparison of two of its publications – the weekly Pražský ilustrovaný zpravodaj and the daily České slovo. The thesis poses the question of whether a publication can be considered a non-essential commodity during a time of crisis. Additionally, the thesis explores the extent to which political affiliation influenced the development of these periodicals.
