Lenka Waschková Císařová has been one of the most distinguished and insightful observers of the transformation of the Czech journalistic profession and news organizations with much of her research focusing on regional and local journalists and news media. In this talk with Monika Metyková (University of Sussex), Waschková Císařová discusses her book The Margins of Journalism (Peter Lang 2025). The book brings together her insights into peripheral journalists and media organizations within the context of a rapidly changing journalistic field. Waschková Císařová’s comprehensive study of local journalism in the post-socialist, post-transitional Czech media system offers broader learnings for the future of journalism and moves beyond a western-centric gaze.

I look forward to seeing you at the event,

Monika
