The Czech Republic has one of Central Europe's most sophisticated and well-developed newspaper industries, with a vibrant media landscape that reflects the country's extraordinary intellectual and cultural heritage, strong democratic institutions, and its position as one of Central Europe's most prosperous economies. Czech newspapers serve a population of 10 million in the heart of Europe, from the stunning capital Prague — one of the world's most beautiful cities — to the industrial hubs of Brno and Ostrava.
Among the most widely read Czech newspapers online is Novinky.cz, the country's most visited portal. Blesk is the highest-circulation daily, while MF DNES is the leading quality broadsheet. Lidove noviny, founded in 1893, is the oldest Czech daily. For TV news, CT24 and iRozhlas are the most trusted public broadcaster sources. In business, Hospodarske noviny is the essential financial daily. Uniquely, Czechs are passionate about both football (FACR) and ice hockey — the national hockey team is one of the world's best, covered by the official Czech Hockey federation.
