It examines the reasons leading to it, describing the circumstances that surrounded it, including the escalation of the situation when almost the entire editorial staff would have liked to leave Respect because of the opposition leadership. It deals with the economic impact of the change. Subsequently, it describes a new form. The conclusion evaluates the shape of news and journalism in magazine Respekt after the change. It describes which defeats and victories it brought.
