History of mass media in numbers

This publication offers a look at the historical development of mass media – the press, film, and radio – in the Czech lands up to the end of the First Republic. The emphasis is on the quantitative dimension: how many newspapers and magazines were published, what their circulation was, how Czech and German publications competed, how dense the cinema network was, and how many people attended film screenings. The development of radio is not overlooked either, which is documented by the growing number of listeners in various regions.
