Plus jeden deň (lit. 'Plus One Day') is a daily newspaper in Slovak published by the company News and Media Holding.

History

[edit]

The company Spoločnosť 7 Plus was founded in 1990 by three Slovaks.[1] The paper was established in September 2006.[2] It is one of multiple publications by the company for Plus 7 dní, Šarm, and Báječná žena.[1]

On 28 March 2008, Plus jeden deň protested against a law which it said would curb freedom of the press by publishing a paper with its front page blank except for a summary of criticisms of the proposed regulation.[3] The legislation arose out of a European Union treaty and was controversial when proposed in the parliament in Slovakia.[3] When the law passed, the paper again printed a blank front page on 11 April 2008, save for a few lines which stated: "Dear readers, the parliament passed a media law that severely hits press freedom and editorial independence. It aims against the interests of the citizens and readers."[4] The paper criticized that the law, which mandated publication of reader opinions, would flood the media to the point of creating laborious inefficiencies.[3]

Reception

[edit]

In his book Media Law in Slovakia, author Andrej Školkay called Plus jeden deň part of "the second most important media house" in Slovakia.[1] Peter Barrer wrote in an article for the Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies that it was among "Slovakia's foremost print media outlets".[5]
