History
Národné Správy was founded by Miroslav Veselý and Dmitri Novák on the 12th of April 1893. Both Veselý and Novák were critical of the Sloverti Monarchy and resented the state controlled press which often sucked up to the monarchy. Novák was born in Ziprata and had moved to Brativas in 1878 to persue a business venture which quickly failed and Novák began working for the monarchist newspaper Denne kráľovský which Novák was said to have hated working for but had little choice due to scarce work and a dire financial situation. Novák met Veselý during a performance in the Sloverti National Theatre, the two are said to have gone to a bar after the performance where they talked endlessly about their opposition to the monarchy and its grip on the press. The two are said to have met in the Centrálne coffee house where they debated about current events. On one of those days in theCentrálne Novák proposed forming a new newspaper that would not conform with the status quo of newspapers of that time. Veselý said he was thrilled by the idea and he being quite a wealthy man bought a premises on Noví Street in the centre of Brativas and became the owner of the new paper while Novák became the editor.
Národné Správy quickly became very popular with the working class and the growing Sloverti Middle class due to its views on the monarchy and its use of contributions from significant figures in the fields of politics, science, literature, and the arts to build its reputation. Novák tragically passed away in 1903 and a month later Veselý appointed Aleksander Tirien as the new editor of the paper. Veselý commisioned a statue of Novák to whoch still stands in the building to this day across from a statue of Miroslav Veselý which was erected upon his death in 1914.
The paper came close to being shut down on several occasions due to its anti-monarchy views and satirical takes on the exploits of thd Sloverti Royal Family. During the Republican Revolution in 1938 Národné Správy was the leading voice in the Republican cause.
In 2005 the paper began to print in both broadsheet and tabloid format.
