Lidové noviny was founded by Adolf Stránský in 1893 in Brno. Its high prestige was due to the number of famous Czech personalities that were contributing—writers, politicians and philosophers—and its attention toward foreign politics and culture. It was also the first Czech daily publishing political cartoons. Its publication was interrupted during World War II. The newspaper changed its name to Svobodné noviny ("The Free News") after the liberation before returning to the original name from 9 May 1948. It was closed down in 1952. More information...
