History and profile
Právo emerged in 1991[2] following the Velvet Revolution, when some editors of the daily Rudé právo founded a new company unaffiliated with the Czechoslovak Communist Party but taking advantage of the existing reader base.[1] The paper is not directly linked to any political party, but is ideologically close to the Czech Social Democratic Party.[3] It maintains a left-wing stance[1][4] and tends to focus on social issues.[5]
In 2019, Právo allowed the Chinese embassy to produce an eight-page paid supplement to the paper labelled as a "theme and commercial supplement". The articles featured exclusively positive coverage of China and were signed by the paper’s reporters.[6]
Právo is published in Prague by Borgis,[2][7] a stock company that issues only Právo and its supplements,[1] owned for 91% by the paper's editor-in-chief, Zdeněk Porybný.[5] The paper is published in broadsheet format.[8]
