History

Týždeň was first issued in December 2004.[2] Published weekly by W Press S.A., the magazine focuses on topics relating to society, politics, and culture.[3] It offers the same views on events as Denník N, with whom Týždeň also offer a joint subscription.[4]

Vladimir Čečetka and Ladislav Rehak have been major shareholders of W Press since its inception. At the end of 2007, Štefan Meszlényi from Komárňanské tlačiarní and Rudolf Zajac joined the publishing house. In 2011, lawyer Roman Kvasnica bought the latter's share.[5]

The magazine also deals with investigative journalism – the state of the judiciary and the prosecutor's office along with long-term cases such as Hedviga Malinová case,[6] murder of Ľudmila Cervanová,[7] or the investigation of Gorilla case.[8] After the discussion show Pod lampou with Hríb on RTVS, Týždeň was published online on its website.[9]

In 2015, some editors left to work with Postoj Media and started publishing the new conservative newspaper Postoj;[10] one of them included long-time investigative editor Marek Vagovič.[11]
