Zákupský zpravodaj

Zákupský zpravodaj (sometimes styled Zákupský Zpravodaj due to the doubled capital 'Z' in its masthead) is a monthly regional magazine published by the Zákupy Municipal Office for the citizens of Zákupy, a town in the Česká Lípa District of the Czech Republic. It was founded in 1974 by Josef Šťastný, a local schoolteacher, who typed the early issues on a typewriter. After less than three years it ceased publication due to lack of interest from the local national committee (MNV Zákupy). The title was revived in 1992 by Mrs. Schelzigová, then secretary of the municipal national committee. A year later, Mgr. Jiří Šimek, the town chronicler, took over the editorial work. In 1997 an editorial board was established as an auxiliary body of the town's culture and education commission; its size has fluctuated between three and seven members. The publication was registered in 1995 under the designation RKO kÚ 16/95. The publisher is the Zákupy Municipal Office. The magazine is distributed on the first day of each month to usual sales points in the town in a print run of 360–400 copies, with a deadline for each issue on the 20th of the preceding month. Some copies are sent by post to interested readers. It is printed in Cvikov. The cover price is 5 CZK, and printing is subsidized by the town budget. All issues are archived, among other places, in the town chronicle archive, and since 1998 a mandatory copy has been delivered to the National Library of the Czech Republic, where it is catalogued under system number 000318708 as a local periodical and can be consulted in the reading room. The town library in Zákupy also holds copies, including older volumes. Some issues can be read and downloaded on the town's website. In terms of content, each issue runs 12–16 A4 sheets in black and white. About a third of the pages are devoted to information from meetings of the town council, board, and commissions, and reports from town-funded organizations. There are also about ten regular columns maintained by editorial board members, such as Sport, Social Organizations, and Chronicle of the Month, supplemented by occasional reader contributions, photographs, and one to two sheets of paid advertising. In 2008 the magazine was noted on i-noviny in connection with a series of reminiscences about the events of 1945 from various municipalities in the Česká Lípa District.
