What was its view of the dissolution of former Czechoslovakia and the birth of two new states – the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic? This article after the content analysis shows that the New York Times (NYT) daily from time to time informed an American public on peaceful separation of the Czecho-Slovak federation and about all imporant facts and events that happened in Slovakia since 1st January 1992 to 31th December 1993.
