L’vivs’ki visti

L’vivs’ki visti («Львівські вісті»; Lviv News). A daily newspaper published in Lviv from August 1941 to July 1944. It was controlled by the German chief of the press in the German-occupied Distrikt Galizien. The newspaper superseded the organ of the Lviv municipal government established after the Soviet retreat, the daily Ukraïns'ki shchodenni visti (June–July 1941), which had been banned by the Germans. The chief editors were Osyp Bodnarovych and, from 26 June 1944, Myroslav Semchyshyn. The newspaper had a circulation of 124,000 copies in 1941, 296,000 in 1942, 238,000 in 1943, and 93,000 in 1944.
