G. Etényi Nóra The Vubliáty of the two Diets in Sopron in 1622 and 1625 in the Holy Roman Empire The image of the two diets in Sopron (in 1622 and 1625) in the 17th century printed newsletters is fragmented but is based on substantive information. At that time, in the 1620-s the political importance of the publicity in the Holy Roman Empire was growing and developing; even though the power relations, the balance of political forces changed rapidly and the information of the weekly press were not built in the long-term political representation.

The news on the diet in Sopron in 1622 were published in the weekly newspaper of Matthaus Formica, which usually published information from Vienna.

The news also described Sopron as a new scene for the diet and for the coronation. The coronation of the queen was also important part of the news, the reports on it were mainly based on the printed newsletters of Simon Halmayer and Johann Lauern from Nürnberg, and the catholic and aulic Mang from Augs- burg.
