Národná obroda (Slovak: National Revival) was a daily newspaper published in Bratislava, Slovakia, between 1990 and 2005.
Národná obroda was established through the initiative of the Slovak government in 1990.[1] The paper had its headquarters in Bratislava.[2] Following its publication it became a respected daily with its accurate and in-depth commentaries.[3] The paper was published in broadsheet format.[4] [5]
Tatiana Repkova served as the publisher and editor-in-chief of the paper.[6] On 15 November 1996 she was removed from both posts.[7] Some of the journalists also left the paper in protest over her dismissal.[6] During this period the owner of the paper was an export company, the VSZ steel mill.[6]
In Spring 1999 Národná obroda was acquired by the NO Publishing company.[8] Following its restructuring the paper had about 130,000 readers in August 1999.[8] The frequency of the paper was also changed. It was published seven days per week until October 1999 when it began to be published daily except Sundays.[2]
In the early 2000s Národná obroda was close to the Alliance of the New Citizen party.[3] The paper had a centrist leaning.[4] In 2003 it was among top ten dailies in the country and had a circulation of 18,000 copies.[5] The publisher was the Výhra company during this period.[5]
Národná obroda ceased publication on 31 May 2005.[2] [9]
