History and profile
Právo emerged in 1991 following the Velvet Revolution, when some editors of the daily Rudé právo founded a new company unaffiliated with the Czechoslovak Communist Party but taking advantage of the existing reader base. It maintains a left-wing stance and tends to focus on social issues.
In 2019, Právo allowed the Chinese embassy to produce an eight-page paid supplement to the paper labelled as a "theme and commercial supplement". The articles featured exclusively positive coverage of China and were signed by the paper’s reporters.
Právo is published in Prague by Borgis, a stock company that issues only Právo and its supplements, owned for 91% by the paper's editor-in-chief, . The paper is published in broadsheet format.
