Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Source guide discussions/Slovakia

This is a request for input about the general reliability of news sources in the Slovak media landscape. This discussion is intended to be part of a series of discussions assessing the reliability of news sources in a range of regions and topics currently not widely discussed at RSN, and particularly those affected by systemic bias, with the primary intent of distributing editor knowledge and providing a consensus-driven resource for new page reviewers to use when evaluating sources in articles about subjects with which they are not personally familiar and which they are ill-equipped to research on their own. Results will be used to further expand the New page patrol source guide; in the case of particularly strong consensuses, they may also be used to expand the perennial sources list.

This discussion will open with a brief overview of the media landscape of the region. While corrections to the overview are appreciated, the body of the discussion should be reserved for discussions on individual sources, which are separated into subsections. As the intent of this discussion is not to conclusively deprecate or green-light sources that have been the focus of prior discussions, the standard four question format is not appropriate here. Editors should phrase their votes as Generally reliable, Generally unreliable, or Unclear, coupled with arguments for these assessments.

Introduction
Slovakia is ranked 35 in the 2019 World Press Freedom Index. Some issues that affect the independence of reporting in the country include strict criminal defamation laws of up to 8 years in prison which are used to harass journalists, and (until 2011) right of reply guaranteed to politicians for critical reporting. The 2018 murder of Ján Kuciak, a journalist, was the first murder of a journalist in Slovakia to occur since the 1993 dissolution of Czechoslovakia and attracted international attention as well as instigating a domestic political crisis.
