Old cities, housing estates, and the daily press, 1960-1989
The article examines how the daily newspapers of the cities of Kutná Hora (Úder), Olomouc (Stráľ lidu), and Liberce (Vpřed) during the period from 1960 to 1989 reflected a collision of two ambitious and ultimately unfulfilled programs of the socialist state: the regeneration of historic towns and solving housing problems through the tools of industrialized construction. The paper draws attention to the obvious fact that there existed a mutual bond between the two programs which had a negative impact on the regeneration program. Newspapers from the 1960's and especially the 1980's depicted this situation quite realistically.
