Radio Prague editor-in-chief explains changes to new-look website

Itâs the first day of school, autumn is nearly upon us, and as you might have noticed there are changes too on the Radio Prague website. Radio Pragueâs Editor-in-Chief Gerald Schubert came into the studio to explain whatâs new and why.

âWe launched it today, and itâs quite a new, modern design. We actually chose to do it because as our listeners maybe know, we are part of public Czech Radio. Czech Radio has a certain corporate identity, and has a certain corporate identity on its websites as well, so we should adapt elements of the common design of Czech Radio in our website, and thatâs what we did.â

OK, so what are some of the new things that our readers can expect from the site?

âWell, itâs nice that you say readers because actually what I want to refer toââ

Iâm sorry, listeners!

âNo, they are readers as well, but the thing I wanted to refer to was the audio performance of our website. Of course we have a lot of readers on our website, we will still present everything in text as well, but we have a new feature for listeners on the website, and thatâs our own embedded player which means that listeners donât need to have software on their computer. They donât have to wait until a new window opens; they can just click on the player on our website and directly listen to the stories.â

And just give us a reminder of how many people use the Radio Prague website, because itâs one of the most popular news sources about the Czech Republic on the internet.

âDefinitely. We have to separate so-called âunique visitsâ and articles read or listened to by people. We have about 800,000 unique visits a month in all our six language versions, and when it comes to opened articles itâs almost 1,500,000, which is really quite a lot. Weâre one of the most important Czech news sources in the Czech Republic and I think the most important in the world.â
