In the theoretical introduction, the paper presents political parallelism in the media as a key concept when studying media and political actors/systems, it lists its forms and identifies four ways/areas for its manifestation/identification. Using this lens, it looks back at the individual stages of modern Czech political communication and its media-scientific reflection, in which it identifies determining themes and typical methods/studies.

The main part of the essay consists of a content analysis of the periodical Forum 24 (forum24.cz) and evidences its party-parallelistic relationship with regards to the ODS. These findings are finally interpreted as an indicator of the onset of a new stage and there is a brief discussion of the hypothesised changes in the Czech media system, respectively, in the nature of the public sphere.
