The culture boss of it all
- Saturday Oct 18 / 18:00, Palác U Stýblů
Who at Respekt magazine decides what the culture section will writer about? The editor-in-chief? The main editor? The head of the culture section? The reader? Mr. Bakala, the owner? Must the reader be always interested in what interests the culture editor? And must the culture editor be always interested in what the readers are interested in?
