Summary/Abstract: The Liberec-based Social Democratic daily “Stráž severu” [Sentinel of the North] was captured by the communists immediately after the coup d’état in February 1948. Still, they did not succeed in “normalising” it as they wanted to. They had a monopoly on information but lacked journalists able to effectively fulfil it.
