The paper briefly informs about the mass emigration of Czechs and Germans to the USA that took place in Europe in the 19th century. It then examines the Czech and German immigrant press, especially the first periodicals/newspapers that both ethnicgroups began to publish in the country across the sea. Both Czech and German periodicals were printed only in their mother tongue for almost the entire 19th century. This paper presents a corpus of material that has been analyzed to determine the newspaper genres most commonly found in these early periodicals. It is difficult to assess the types of primarily Czech genres, because at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century many genres were still emerging, not only in the immigrant press, but also in the press at home, in the homeland. Nevertheless, applied analyses have clearly shown that Czech and German periodicals always had a predominantly
news section at the beginning of their existence, i.e. news from home, Europe, the USA and local news. Moreover, the subject matter and content of these reports also document the degree of integration of immigrants into the new society and the degree
of their assimilation with it.
