Monitory ČTK aneb co zajímalo komunistický režim na vysílání Rádia Svobodná Evropa
Monitors of the Czechoslovak News Agency or What Interested the Communist Regime in the Radio Free Europe Broadcasting Station

Summary/Abstract: In paper ‘Monitors of the Czechoslovak News Agency or What Interested the Communist Regime in the Radio Free Europe Broadcasting Station’ analyses the so-called ‘monitors’, i.e., the daily transcripts of radio broadcasts given by the Western radio stations. The authors of these monitors were employees of a special department of the Czechoslovak News Agency, and the recipients were a narrow circle of people, mainly from the political and media environment of communist Czechoslovakia. Using more than 200 monitors, broadcasted in three historical periods, we have analysed the form and, above all, the contents of these monitors and we have described, analysed and interpreted what the communist regime and its representatives were so interested in regarding the broadcasting of the Radio Free Europe station.
