Book Talk: The Margins of Journalism

Local journalists play a key role in the transformation of both media and society. In her new book The Margins of Journalism, Lenka Waschková Císařová explores their work on the periphery of the journalistic field, which nonetheless shapes the very core of the profession. The conversation with the author, led by Monika Metyková, will take place on May 6 at 4 PM in the Aula of the Faculty of Social Studies.
