This article deals with the perception of the first year of the Greek Revolution by the Czech media, especially the weekly Wlastenský Zwěstovatel. The study very briefly presents the historical framework that led to the Greeks’ national awakening. When tracking the development in 1821 it places emphasis on tracking evens in the Danube region, based on a historicalcomparative analysis of the relevant news content with reference to the sources of information used. Another goal of this study is to present new findings on the attitude of Czech society and Czech journalists toward the revolt of a Christian nation that was demanding its freedom and independence form the Ottoman Empire. This has been done with full awareness that the above-mentioned weekly was published at the high tide of Metternich’s absolutism and the main sources of information were Austrian newspapers that Chancellor Metternich had complete control over.
